Everything your phone can do - from your keyboard.
CoveLink connects your Android phone to your Windows, macOS, or Linux desktop over your local network. No subscriptions, no data leaving your home.
Notification mirroring
Every phone notification appears on your desktop in real time. Reply, dismiss, snooze, or trigger action buttons - all from your keyboard.
SMS read & reply
Full conversation view in the browser UI. Reply to any thread without touching your phone. Quick-reply templates for common responses.
Call control
Incoming call banners with Answer and Decline. Mute your mic or toggle speakerphone from the desktop while in a call.
Media control
See what's playing on your phone and control it - play, pause, skip, and adjust volume - without switching windows.
Clipboard sync
Copy something on your phone, paste it on your desktop instantly. Full clipboard history keeps the last 20 items in reach.
File transfer
Drag files onto the desktop app to send them to your phone. Share files from any Android app directly to your desktop via the share sheet.
Remote trackpad
Use your phone screen as a wireless trackpad and keyboard for your desktop. Tap, drag, scroll, and type - no extra hardware needed.
Find my phone
Ring your phone at full alarm volume from the desktop - overrides silent mode. Stop it remotely when you've found it.
Multi-phone
Connect multiple Android phones at the same time. Switch between them with a click in the sidebar - notifications and SMS stay separate per phone.
Multi-desktop
One phone, multiple desktops. Your work machine and home machine both receive notifications and media state without draining extra battery.
End-to-end encrypted
All traffic is encrypted with NaCl box (Curve25519 + XSalsa20-Poly1305). Plaintext only during the initial QR pairing handshake.
No cloud. No account.
Your phone and desktop talk directly over your LAN. Nothing passes through bazzaztech servers. Ever. Verify it yourself →
Up and running in three steps.
No configuration files. No port forwarding. No account.
Install
Download CoveLink for your desktop (Linux, Windows, or macOS). It installs as a background service and opens its browser UI automatically.
Pair
Open the web UI on your desktop and scan the QR code with the free Android companion app. Pairing takes about ten seconds.
Done
Your phone and desktop are linked. Notifications, texts, calls and media appear on your desktop automatically whenever you're on the same network.
The only local-first option with real encryption.
