Your phone joins your Mac before the coffee cools.

Open your Mac, let your Android connect, and keep moving through the small moments that usually pull you back to your phone.

Small enough to care about every rough edge.

LinkMyMac is built, supported, and refined by one independent developer. The same person who reads the feedback tunes battery use, polishes notifications, and ships the next fix.

01 Support becomes features

Real emails turn into fixes, settings, and calmer defaults.

02 Built around daily use

The product is tested on real Android phones and Mac workflows.

03 Updates keep moving

Small releases can focus on the details people actually feel.

Recent shipping log Made from feedback, not a pitch deck.
1.53 Clipboard history and workflow polish

Faster access to copied text, links, and everyday handoff moments.

1.54 Calmer mirroring and notification controls

More control over what appears on the Mac, and when.

1.55 Lower battery use, quieter background behavior

Less noise, less drain, and a connection that feels more native.

Every release is another pass at making Android feel at home on Mac.

Watch the Android-to-Mac workflow for real.

Samuel Nam walks through LinkMyMac from an independent creator's perspective, so you can see the product moving through real moments instead of polished screenshots.
