Pushbullet
Pushbullet is a cross-platform notification and file-sharing utility that connects smartphones, tablets and computers to enable unified workflows. The app lets users receive their phone's notifications on their Mac, send files and links between devices, use universal copy-and-paste across platforms, and view a timeline of all shared content. Pushbullet originally targeted Android and Windows users, but in 2015 expanded to include native support for iOS and macOS, along with Safari extensions. The service was particularly popular with users seeking Continuity-like features on older Macs or non-Apple devices.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionPushbullet's native macOS app was effectively discontinued some years ago, and there is no longer an actively maintained native build for Apple Silicon. The last confirmed activity around the Mac app dates to around 2015–2017, with no subsequent releases or updates evident in the search results. The app will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (late 2027). If you rely on Pushbullet's core functionality—notification mirroring, file sharing, and cross-device copy-paste—consider KDE Connect, a free and open-source alternative that runs natively on macOS, Windows and Linux and offers similar device-synchronization features. For a lighter-weight option specific to notification and file sharing between Apple devices, consider exploring Airdrop (built into macOS) or the web-based Pushbullet interface at pushbullet.com, which works in any modern browser. If you depend heavily on Pushbullet's unique features, reach out to Pushbullet's support team to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is under consideration.
