Pushbullet

Had heard a lot of good things about it. Finally got around to installing it yesterday. Very useful and getting better with every update. Do check it out. Right now I am loving getting all my phone notifications on my computer. Though I installed it primarily to transfer stuff from the computer to the phone. Like URLs or text content. Which I was previously doing through Google Keep.

Pushbullet - Send files, links, and more to your phone and back, fast!

Man. Comes handy to quickly share a screenshot from the phone to the computer. Earlier I used to mail it. Also comes handy for reply to texts from the computer.

Really handy app. Specially for people like me who are careless about there phone but work on computer day and night. (Although notification UI could have been more polished)

@chromaniac How have you set up to respond messages from computer, I tried several apps listed as supported but experience was not that great.

For SMS, it shows a reply option in the popup on computer. I am not sure if it offer this option for other apps?

I do not think every SMS app is supported

This is from the play store
"Pushbullet works great with EvolveSMS, Textra, chomp SMS and more to enable replying to text messages."

I do not get reply option with MI3 messaging app and therefore had to try one of the above

I use Hangouts for SMS. Seems to work fine.

That app still has some issues I believe. It sometimes quite easily corrupts the WhatsApp messages database.
