Product snapshot
Pushbullet is a free browser extension that links your phone or tablet to your desktop so you can manage mobile notifications from your computer. It makes it possible to read and reply to messages, move links and notes between devices, and send small files without touching your mobile device.
Key capabilities
- Cross-device notification syncing and remote message replies
- Quick transfer of links, short notes, and small files
- Compatibility with multiple browsers and operating systems
Supported messaging platforms
- Facebook Messenger
- Kik
Getting started
- Install the extension on your computer and the companion app on your mobile device.
- Sign in with the account you want to use (you can add several and switch between them).
- Pair your devices and begin sending notifications, links, notes, or files back and forth instantly.
Once set up, your desktop behaves like an extension of your phone (and vice versa), allowing you to handle incoming alerts and respond without unlocking or reaching for the mobile device.
Limits and upgrade details
- Free tier file transfers are limited to 25 MB per item.
- A Pro subscription increases the per-file limit up to 1 GB and expands cloud storage (for example, from 2 GB to 100 GB).
- The free plan restricts message pushes to 100 per month; the paid plan removes that cap.
If you frequently transfer large files or require unlimited pushes, consider the paid option.
Quick assessment
Pushbullet is easy to use and delivers a cohesive way to treat your PC and mobile as one connected workspace. It supports popular messaging apps, handles multiple devices, and is generally reliable — a useful productivity tool for anyone who prefers managing notifications and messages from their computer.
