Guide: How To Make Pushbullet Work on Safari and Mac
If you have an Android phone, life without Pushbullet is meaningless. The Android app can do so much. With the Chrome extension, you can view notifications, reply to text messages, share clipboard history between two devices and much more. The only problem is that Pushbullet doesn’t like the Apple verse as much as Windows and Android. Their product page lists a Safari extension and a Mac app as “coming soon”. But that placeholder has been there for months. Maybe it’s time to face the facts. The developers at Pushbullet are busy building great things and Chrome is such a viable medium for them that they don’t want to focus their energies on other things. That’s worthless to the rest of us, the folks who own a Mac and for some reason (battery life, stability, privacy) choose Safari over Chrome. But thanks to third-party developers, that gap is a little easier to break. Today we will talk about a very simple third-party extension for Safari and a full one featured Third-party Pushbullet app for Mac.
Pushbullet for Safari
The Pushbullet extension for Safari is simple compared to the Chrome extension. You cannot view notifications, reply to SMS or even send files.
All you can do is send links and notes. That is it. Oh, and you need to verify the extension using an API key available in the Account section of the Pushbullet website.
PushPal for Mac
This is what it’s all about. PushPal is a decked out unofficial Mac client for Pushbullet. If Pushbullet made its own Mac app, this is probably what it would look like. All those natives features however, come at a price: $ 2.99 on the Mac App Store. But for the small price, you get a streamlined app with all the pushes you’ve ever sent on all your devices. You can view the pushes, resend them and more.
An easy way to send links, files, notes, etc. From Mac to any Pushbullet connected device – Windows, iPhone or Android.
After you turn on Notification Flip in the Android app, you’ll see notifications on the Mac. If you dismiss notifications here, this will be done in the app.
PushPal also allows you to reply to SMS. Recently: I’ve crowned Pushbullet as the easiest way to sync clipboards between Windows and Android. With PushPal, you can have the same feature also between Mac and Android (no word on iPhone update).
How PushPal can be better
If you’re a heavy Pushbullet user, PushPal is totally worth the $ 3 investment. But I think there is room for improvement, especially with how it deals with sending files. Developers, I hope you are reading this. PushPal has a menu bar utility, but it’s not really useful. It should provide a drop-down list of the most recent pushes. Alternatively, dragging a file to the menu bar should give you an option to select the device you want to push it to. You do not need to start the app. Some sort of generic shortcut to send the web page you are on to a device would also be appreciated.
