GoKawiilNew open-source app Magic Switch lets Apple peripherals jump between two Macs

GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
For users who work across multiple Macs, this could remove a persistent friction point in Apple's ecosystem, where Bluetooth peripherals are typically locked to one paired device at a time. Being open-source also means the community can inspect, modify, or extend the tool rather than relying on a closed commercial utility.
- Magic Switch is free and open-source, hosted on GitHub
- It enables sharing Magic Keyboard, Trackpad, or Mouse between two Macs
- No Apple ID or USB re-pairing process is required to switch devices
