Pushbullet is "the app you never knew you needed", according to CNET. Here's why: STAY CONNECTED • Conveniently send and receive SMS messages from your computer (requires Android) • Reply to messages from many popular apps including WhatsApp, Kik, and Facebook Messenger (requires Android) • Easily share links and files between your devices, or with friends NEVER MISS A NOTIFICATION • See all of your phone's notifications on your computer, including phone calls (requires Android) • Dismiss a notification on your computer and it goes away on your phone too • Use Pushbullet Channels to subscribe to timely notifications about things you care about SAVE TIME • Text from your computer using your keyboard instead of grabbing your phone • The easiest way to get a link or file onto your phone to open or share |
By default, if you have both the Pushbullet desktop app and the Pushbullet browser extension installed, then Pushbullet notifications will only show in the desktop app, with no option to have them show in the browser. I raised this issue on reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/PushBullet/comments/33gn2j/behavior_request_for_android_to_macchrome/), but unfortunately the Pushbullet devs were against implementing it as an option. I understand their decision, but it's something that I really wanted (and I think some other Pushbullet fans would be interested too), so I made a Chrome extension that allows this behaviour. This extension allows the Pushbullet browser extension to show phone notifications, even if the desktop app is also installed. To turn on/off notifications in the browser extension, set it in the extension's options, and to turn on/off notifications in the desktop app, use the desktop app's options. It's that simple. :) GitHub repository: https://github.com/DChiuch/Bring-Pushbullet-Notifications-Back-to-Chrome |
