Don't know about Synergy, cause it requires for an account to download and I haven't found any registration page. So I tested Barrier, it runs through Rosetta 2:

Thanks @tookdes and @moffpage for the reports. Updated and verified live: Synergy and Barrier KVM.
Synergy's native status now uses the official Apple Silicon installer guidance, rather than relying on a scanned release candidate. Barrier retains the reported Rosetta support and now states that it is no longer maintained. The community ARM build linked above is separate from an official native stable release. Barrier's maintainers point to InputLeap.
Leaving this open for maintainer review. Feel free to suggest another app we're missing.

Thanks @tookdes and @moffpage for the compatibility reports. Maintainer review is complete, and both listings were rechecked live on October 6, 2026: Synergy shows native Apple Silicon support, and Barrier KVM shows Rosetta support with its discontinued-maintenance notice. The community Barrier ARM build remains distinct from an official native stable release, as explained above.
Closing this completed request. Feel free to suggest another app we're missing.
