I gave up in fustration, the site has no real information, no system requirements, no installation information. does it run on linux? I like the idea but i have a department with 100 fedora workstations in it.

I am feeling the same way mate. I believe it’s only for macOS.

  Thanks for your feedback, sorry if that wasn't clear. We'll fix our website. It's indeed macOS-only for now (we had to start somewhere). Here all steps to get started: https://support.coscreen.co/portal/kb/articles/getting-started-with-coscreen https://support.coscreen.co/portal/kb/articles/getting-start...

    Naw mate. Your good. I read the site in English and it said clearly macOS. No need to apologize. I was just trying to be nice. Site was cool. Maybe more documentation. Good luck to you.

Thanks as well, it's macOS-only for but we're working on other OSes. It should work on anything that runs macOS Mojave and higher and at least on 5-6 year old Mac Books.

  I'm curious how many Mac users have multiple monitors? I don't think I've ever seen a single one (I'm sure they exist). I see iMac users on one big monitor. I see MacBook/Air/Pro users either on their laptop or one monitor, usually with their laptop closed. Where as pretty much all Windows users in game dev seem to have 2 or more monitors. Are you expecting lots of mac users to buy a second monitor or use an iPad for this second monitor or is my experience just atypical and lots of mac users have 2 monitors?

    Professional Mac user here. Over the last decade, I’ve worked in shops supporting Macs (as well as other OSes) along with other Mac-using developers and designers. All my Mac-using colleagues have dual-or-higher monitor setups.

      Thanks both. In corporate environments we've seen more software developers who have a Mac with multiple screens (often one of them vertical for code) than with just one. But we were unable to find any reliable stats and it's an ongoing debate in how far multiple screens (vs. just hire resolutions/more pixels on one screen actually improve performance - see https://lifehacker.com/is-the-multiple-monitor-productivity-boost-a-myth-5616859 https://lifehacker.com/is-the-multiple-monitor-productivity-.... In any case, CoScreen also works great with just one screen and you can share/unshare with a single tap of a button.

    Every person in my company uses a Mac (~100 people) and I think only one person uses only one monitor. Every employee gets a 34in LG and a laptop stand and every person (except the one) uses the laptop open to the side for extra stuff. I know at least two employees have several external monitors. One of them has two 34in and a thunderbolt display (which is ridiculous to me, so much head movement).

Btw, we've just set up this form to get quick feedback which operating system we should support next - please help us prioritize! https://shorturl.at/koJX3 https://shorturl.at/koJX3
