Common questions about CursorHop features
What can CursorHop do across multiple computers?
CursorHop shares one mouse and keyboard across multiple computers, syncs clipboard text and images, transfers files by drag-and-drop, dims inactive screens, discovers computers automatically on your network, and encrypts everything end-to-end. All in one app.
What platforms does CursorHop run on?
CursorHop runs natively on Windows 10 and later and macOS 12 (Monterey) and later. Cross-platform works in any combination - Mac to Windows, Windows to Mac, or same-platform. Linux support is planned for a future release.
How many computers can I connect?
Up to 2 on the free trial and Pro, 5 on Pro Plus, 10 on Max. All plans work with the full feature set on the trial - the tier caps the number of simultaneous machines, not the features.
Does CursorHop need the internet?
No for normal use. CursorHop is LAN-only by design - all data stays on your local network. You only need the internet briefly to activate your license and receive software updates.
