Write texts comfortably on your computer or select files – and send them directly to your smartphone. And the other way round: photos, files and texts from your phone straight to your PC. How it works: Open the PushTo Writer in your browser on your PC (writer.pushto.ch), sign in with the same account as in the app – and everything arrives on your phone as a push notification. From PC to phone: • SMS message: insert text and recipient directly into a new SMS • Clipboard: type text on your PC and paste it anywhere on your phone • URL scheme: open links or trigger actions in other apps • Files: copy images to the clipboard or share files via "Share" From phone to PC (new): • "Send to PC": choose photos, files or text – they appear in the Writer under "From Phone", ready to download or copy No cable, no detour via email or chat apps – ideal when your phone and computer are not from the same manufacturer. Privacy: Content is transferred encrypted, only stored briefly and deleted automatically after one day. We do not look at your content. Free and optional: PushTo is free and funded by ads. With the "PushTo Ad-Free" (no ads) and "PushTo Fileupload Plus" (files up to 50 MB and up to 1 GB per day instead of 6 MB and 100 MB) subscriptions you support its development.
