Magic Dibs by Frido
Move Magic Keyboard, Mouse and Trackpads between two Macs in one click.
Magic Dibs by Frido is a free Mac utility for sharing one Magic Keyboard, Mouse, and Trackpad between two Macs. Move your devices to the Mac you need without opening Bluetooth settings for each one.
Switch your devices in one click
Choose the keyboard, mouse, or trackpad you want to use, then switch them to your Mac from the menu bar. Press Control + Option + D to open Magic Dibs without reaching for the mouse.
Pick up on the other Mac
Turn on automatic switching to release devices when one Mac locks or sleeps, and reconnect them when the other wakes or unlocks. You can still switch them yourself from the menu bar.
Pair once. Then go wireless.
Connect each Magic device to both Macs with a cable during the initial setup. After that, switch your keyboard, mouse, and trackpad wirelessly, without plugging them in each time.
A local connection, not an account
Your Macs communicate over your local network or Bluetooth to switch devices. No account is needed, and Magic Dibs does not track you. The app is signed by its developer and notarized by Apple.
