Switchy is a macOS menu bar app that automatically discovers nearby Macs on your local network, so you can connect to your magic devices without disconnecting and reconnecting or having to use a cable. It's useful for users who have multiple Macs or MacBooks (i.e work and personal) but want to use one set of magic accessories.
Few months ago, I bought new accessories for my desk. A magic keyboard, mouse and trackpad thinking that this will be easy to use with my work and personal MacBook but I soon realised that magic accessories don't work like Apple AirPods. You need to manually disconnect / reconnect or worse, use a cable to switch the devices from one computer to another. My colleagues were buying brand new trackpads - one for each computer and were wasting a lot of money.
I decided to find a way to solve this and that's how I built Switchy. I use it everyday when to switch all my magic devices from one computer to another with just one tap.
