Apple's Continuity stops at the iPhone, Phone Link stops at Windows. Waslane brings your Android phone to your Mac and iPad: mirror and control the screen, send files both ways, read and answer SMS, get notifications with inline reply, share the clipboard, browse photos and contacts. Everything runs over your own Wi-Fi with TLS 1.3, no server, no account, no tracking. Free 7-day trial, then $12.99/year or $29.99 once. The Android companion app is free.
Hi everyone, I'm Ziad, the solo developer behind Waslane.
I use a Mac, an iPad and an Android phone. Apple's Continuity features stop at the iPhone, and Phone Link only exists on Windows. KDE Connect filled the gap for a while, but on macOS it's a nightly build, and for me it broke after almost every system update. So I built what I wanted: a native app that stays stable and never leaves my own Wi-Fi.
What it does: mirror and control the phone screen with keyboard, mouse or touch, move files in both directions, read and answer SMS, get notifications from any app with inline reply, share the clipboard, browse photos and contacts. Pairing is a QR code, the connection is TLS 1.3 with mutual certificate authentication. No server, no account, no tracking.
The Android app is free. The Mac/iPad app has a 7-day trial, then $12.99/year or $29.99 once.
Waslane has been in the App Store and on Google Play for a few weeks, but this is its first real public launch. I'd especially like feedback on the pairing flow and the notification mirroring, and honestly on whether the pricing feels fair next to a free open-source alternative.
Ask me anything about the protocol, or about the eight store rejections it took to get here (six from Apple, two from Google).
