Join Desktop

Join Desktop is a free and open source program for performing dozens of different actions remotely on other devices. Not only can you use this desktop app to see notifications from your Android, but you can also use it to listen to music from another Internet browser or share notes between several devices. The possibilities are endless.

Setting up Join Desktop is easy enough, although it does require some preparation beforehand. First, you'll need a user account to share between all your devices. Creating this account is very easy, as you can do so with your usual Gmail address. After this first step, simply identify yourself on all the devices you want to connect. And that's it. It's important to note, however, that if you open the desktop app before syncing the Android app, you may need to restart the app.

You'll know when you've done it correctly, because when you open Join Desktop, you'll see a complete list of all its features, which are many. The first one, for example, lets you create a text note on your desktop, which will then be automatically shared with the other connected devices. Another similar feature lets you share the clipboard between two apps, something that's very useful for users who work in front of their PC but keep their smartphone nearby.

But the features offered by Join Desktop don't stop there. One of most interesting features offered by this program includes the option to send large files between devices quickly and conveniently. You can also play music or videos on one of the connected devices while enjoying it from your desktop. You can even read your SMS from the desktop app.

Download Join Desktop to use your Android device and other devices remotely from your PC desktop. This app is especially useful if you have more advanced knowledge, since if you use it in conjunction with Tasker, you can create automated actions between several devices to save lots of time.
