Pushbullet

Pushbullet is a content sharing application that can unify Windows PC and mobile devices into a single platform that can share an incredible variety of information between them with a single click. The app is installed as a Chrome browser addon and maintains communication with the corresponding apps on Android smartphones and tablets, enabling effortless sharing of all phone notifications, SMS messages, and much more directly on the screen of your desktop or laptop PC. The sharing does not flow one way around, from Android to PC, but is instead fully unlocked for both ways. Users of Pushbullet can use their PC to compose and send SMS messages, share links between devices, chat with friends, move files from one device to another, and more.

Pushbullet can be installed on any desktop or laptop PC that is running an up-to-date version of Chrome Browser by simply visiting its official page on Chrome Web Store and clicking on the “Add to Chrome” button. The app will quickly integrate itself into the web browser, adding a bright green icon right next to the address bar. Clicking on that icon will bring the small floating window that holds all the functionality of the app separated into four main tabs – People, Devices, SMS, and Notifications. All of the data presented in these tabs will be mirrored on all connected devices that run the Pushbullet for Chrome app, enabling effortless sharing without any need to learn complicated procedures, connect devices to PC via USB cable, or any other blockers.

In addition to instant access to SMS replies, Pushbullet also has integrated support for direct chat for a wide variety of other Android apps such as WhatsApp, Kik, and Facebook Messenger. The notification tab also allows the dismissing of notifications that will be also automatically removed from the mobile device, simplifying the way users receive and manage notification from as many mobile apps as needed.

Because of its reliance on cloud syncing and small resource footprint, this application can be installed on any PC that can run a modern Chrome browser. Internet connection for syncing data between devices is required, and the app can also be loaded in a full tab, enabling more direct access to all of its features. Pushbullet is 100% FREE and can transform the way PC users can manage data sharing, communication, and notification management on their mobile devices.
