What Pushbullet is

Pushbullet connects phones, tablets, and computers so they can share information. It can display phone notifications, including messages and calls, on a computer. Through an Android phone, users can send and receive text messages on a computer; SMS sending is not supported through iPhones. Files can be sent through the website, Windows app, Android and iPhone apps, and browser extensions. Pushbullet Channels deliver alerts about topics users follow. Its API lets developers send and receive pushes and build clients or integrations for websites, home automation, sensors, and server alerts. Optional end-to-end encryption for notification mirroring, Universal Copy & Paste, and SMS uses AES-256-GCM, and encryption keys are not sent to the server. The free plan costs nothing and includes 2GB storage, 100 messages per month, and files up to 25MB. Pushbullet Pro costs $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year; both plans include 100GB storage, unlimited messages, and files up to 1GB. The listed platforms are Android, API, browser extension, iOS, web, and Windows.
