WHAT HE DOES

EARS

Hear every PC running Mickey on your network. Connect with one click.

EYES

Know which PC has your keyboard: a green dot in every tray.

HANDS

Carry your clipboard, encrypted: text, images and files.

FEET

Run across the edges of your screens, or jump with a hotkey.

shared mouse & keyboard

ONE MOUSE.
EVERY SCREEN.

Push the pointer off the edge of a screen and it comes in on the next, monitor after monitor, PC after PC, keyboard and all (edges on Windows and Hyprland today, GNOME and KDE next; a hotkey works everywhere). Lost it? Hold Right Shift for 3 seconds: it always comes home.

COPY HERE.
PASTE THERE.

Copy on one PC with Ctrl C, paste on another with Ctrl V: Ratão carries it across, end-to-end encrypted. Text, images and files.
