No

Why don't you give a some information about it.

What is it?
What it does?
Where we could find it? [The non-portable version]
Is it Open Source?
Why it would be cool to have a portable version?

Hmm

to me Synergy is a software to allow u to control 2 pc's (could be mac-windowsor-linux or something like that) with one mouse and keyboard and allow them to share a clipboard.

Yeah

That's the first result on Google.

And if that's the case, it's not really a good fit as a portable app. It's made to be used on more than one of your own PCs with specific IP addresses in a specific physical arrangement.

Live with purpose.

Yep

Thats it. C|net recommended it to me i used it before. only bad thing is it has a little lag on the nonlocal pc.
Not suitable for a portable app

i use this app a lot

I use Synergy a lot, but because it's a client-server system that allows something akin to VNC, without admin access you're sort of limited. There's no point making it portable though, as the config is machine-specific.

i do alot of PC repair and

i do alot of PC repair and when i sit down in front of a clients PC and pull out my laptop it would be nice to connect my laptop to a PC so i didnt have to carry around a extra mouse...cuz that would require a bigger laptop bag

This would be a great app

This would be a great app for people using laptop with work network as i do.

I just made this. It was easy.

I made this just recently for portable apps, it's based off one of the other apps' source code. So, technically I didn't make it fully, I just modified another one.
If you check the source you'll find some lines from the other program still commented out. :D

It seems to work without any problems, tested it on only 3 computers as of now, 1 with synergy installed, 2 without it.

For now here's a link:
