Tour of the app

The sidebar

The sidebar lists the pages. Devices shows how many computers you have, and Transfers how many are moving. At the bottom, a status card shows whether the Crosspoint service is running, which computer has control, and whether Cursor Lock or Game Mode is on. If the service stops, a red banner says so and Crosspoint restarts it by itself.
