If you are one of the many people who work on a computer all day long, not having to look at your smartphone means fewer distractions –it may be argued that seeing them pop up on your computer is just as bad, but it also means not having to look away from the screen to check (and you can keep the volume off on your smartphone, which is a great idea for everybody who works around you as well). One of the most significant benefits is the ability to type quickly and more accurately –while it’s completely possible to connect a Bluetooth keyboard to your smartphone or tablet, that’s an extra step. In an exciting turn, Pushbullet can mirror all manner of notifications from your Android device on your computer –including text messages!īefore you say that you really don’t see the need to use text messaging from your computer (as opposed to a mobile device), there are several advantages that I can speak to first-hand as somebody who has used this functionality for some time now.

Fortunately for those who aren’t running those platforms, Pushbullet is an app that can help… especially with the latest round of updates. One of the biggest advantages of a smartphone using iOS combined with a computer running MacOS has been the ability to send and receive iMessages directly from either device interchangeably(which is expanding to all SMS messaging with the updates due out this fall).
