It's an alternative to existing solutions like Phone Link but opensource, tailored for users who want a straightforward and efficient way to keep their devices in sync.

Windows App: Microsoft Store | Github
Android App: Github (You can get the APK from the github releases and no it's not on play store yet, though you can get it from izzyonDroid)

MacBook client coming soon? I feel I'm the only person left with a mac and android, but I would totally use that lol

@manuhortet uhh- Idk actually. As a solo dev it was already tough making it for Windows. I will get to it sooner or later, but I will first need a macos to work with lol. You can give KDE Connect a chance for now?
This is interesting. Does it also support Mac? I used to transfer files via chat apps between my Mac, Windows, and my phone. It is especially inconvenient when WeChat only allows one computer log-in, so I have to always open and close it on two computers.

@saite_yuan Umm sorry it doesn't support Mac, I also can't give an ETA.
That WeChat policy does seem pretty inconvenient and maybe you can perhaps look at other options? Like LocalSend, it is crossplatform and opensource.
Seems like it's pretty damn useful, assuming there's no mac support just yet but would be very interested when you release that!
I like the UX/UI looks very smart & clean with the layouts & now slightly envious of Windows/Android users now!
Congrats on the launch & best of luck w/ today!
How will I know when it lands for Mac?

@cranqnow Thanks, you can keep track of the project on Github.
Given how unstable Phone link usually is - thank you for building this! Will be giving it a spin shortly, as soon as i find an android device I can sideload apks into (my work device won't let me).
Side note/Feature request: Have you thought about adding a better way to use the Android camera as a source in Windows? I think Phone Link does this now, but is super flaky and requires an app restart every time. Kind of like droidcam but integrated into Sefirah?
Sefirah
Thanks for giving it a try. I hope you find a device which can sideload, publishing in Play Store is pretty hard now as there are a lot of restrictions if not I would've done it already.
Yes, the feature is part of my roadmap to do and I will get to it once everything is polished out. Phone link does indeed have it and it does work really well for me but can't say for every device. I really appreciate the input thanks.
