fwd at a glance
fwd | Send links, text and files to your devices is a Tools extension by emaitchess with 268 users. Chrome Web Store users rate it 5.0 out of 5 from 5 ratings, which is still a small sample. By users it sits in the top 25% of Tools extensions. It was updated in the last day.
I've been using Join for years, but fwd is a considerable improvement. It's clean, fast, intuitive, and makes sharing links, text, and files between devices incredibly easy. No unnecessary complexity, just a polished tool that does exactly what it promises. Really impressed so far!

I constantly share links, files, and messages across multiple devices. I've used Join, KDE Connect, and Microsoft's Phone Link as alternatives to Pushbullet. Even in beta, fwd already feels more polished. It's clean, fast, and has a searchable history. Let's wait for the final pricing and plans, but so far, I can only recommend fwd.

I've used many different services that aimed to replace Pushbullet. This seems to be the first one that covers the features I need and works just like I expect I to do! It just feels right!

Finally, a legitimate attempt at a PushBullet replacement!!! It does need an iOS/iPadOS or web app solution ASAP to feel truly cross-platform at least for me, but I'm following the development and looking forward to more!
