SurlfBird solves a long-standing problem. You run a Windows desktop computer and an iPhone/iPad side by side. You use a shared file storage like ownCloud, Nextcloud, Dropbox, WebDAV or something similar to transfer your data between the devices. This works fine for office documents, text documents. If, like me, you like to save URLs from internet sessions in your shared storage for later reading or as a reminder, you will find a .url file when viewing the replicated storage on the iOS device. You can copy its contents to the Notes application and click the link there. Now you have SurlfBird to help you. Just share the url file with SurlfBird and it will grep the URL from the .url file and open Safari with that URL. Very small and simple application, no extra internet traffic or anything.
