Link to Pane - Continuity between Mac and Android via Windows Protocols
by•
Link to Pane for Mac brings Link-to-Windows universal clipboard sharing and much more on Mac with Android phone, that works automatically via Link To Windows protocol. You don't need to install anything on your phone additionally (only if you want to transfer raw files).

I know that you, as me, if you own a Mac - you miss automatic clipboard sharing, like it was when you owned an iPhone. I was very upset regarding this, as Oppo has O+ connect (i owned 1+15 too), Apple has their continuity, but Samsung offers nothing for our devices combination. Another thing is Android permissions - only some manufacturer-supplied apps are allowed to copy&paste automatically, so ClipRelay or KDE Connect require you manual copying every time (yes, they have tried experimental workarounds, but they barely work).
But we have link to windows on our Samsung built-in, the missing part was Phone Link / Link to Windows on Mac.
Here it is!
Supported phones:
Samsung
Honor
OnePlus, Oppo, Realme
Vivo
What works now:
Telemetry — live battery, signal, and connection health
Universal clipboard — text and images both ways, automatically
Media controls — play, pause, and skip from your keyboard
Notifications — Android alerts on your Mac, with history
Photo library — browse the phone gallery and drag photos to Finder
File transfers — send originals over Wi‑Fi with the companion app
I'm asking you about feedback, as I don't collect any metrics and only react to real people's problems (you can check my other posts about my apps and extensions), please be kind to share your thoughts, feature requests and bugs.
As I spent lots of time developing it, it is licensed in WinRAR style - if trial ends, it will just remind you about license from time to time, it will not lock any features, so pay when you are ready or feel appreciated for my work. Thank you!
