= Introduction =
**QuickSynergy** is a graphical interface (GUI) for easily configuring [Synergy2 http://synergy2.sf.net/], an application that allows the user to share his mouse and keyboard between two or more computers.
Without the need for any external hardware, Synergy2 uses the [TCP-IP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP/IP] protocol to share the resources, even between machines with diferent operating systems, such as Mac OS, Linux and Windows.
So **QuickSynergy** is a graphical user interface for **Mac OS** and **Linux** systems, since the official website presents only a Windows version.

[imagens/ub.gif]
The [Mac OS X http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X] version was developed in [Cocoa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocoa_%28API%29] using the environment [Xcode http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xcode] and consists of a simple //.app// file, **without** the necessity of Synergy2 installation. It holds the binaries of the original project, that is licensed under GNU GPL.
End users can directly download the compiled image with the binary. For those who wish to compile the app from the //source// it is necessary to install the softwares mentioned above.
QuickSynergy runs on both PPC and Intel machines.
=== Instructions ===
==== Instalation ====
To install the application you just need to download the image (QuickSynergy_xxv.dmg - where XX is the version number), open it and drag the application to a folder (example, ``/Application``). After this step, the application is ready to be used.
