LinkMyMac supports SMS and MMS conversation visibility on Mac after your Android phone and Mac are paired. That makes it much easier to check threads from desktop instead of constantly switching devices.

Install LinkMyMac on Android and LinkMyDroid on Mac, pair the devices, and enable the Android permissions needed for messages. Once connected, the Mac app can show supported SMS and MMS conversation data from your phone.
LinkMyMac also supports quick replies for messaging notifications when Android exposes supported reply actions.

Made for Android users who work on Mac
If you are searching for Android messages on Mac, the real need is simple: see conversation context on your computer without depending on a Windows-first workflow or juggling multiple services.
LinkMyMac is built around direct Android-to-Mac pairing and the everyday workflows that usually sit next to messaging, such as notifications, calls, file transfer, and clipboard sync.
Keep the connection local
LinkMyMac is designed around direct local communication between your Android phone and Mac. You do not need a separate cloud account just to keep your messages visible on desktop.
Pair messages with notifications and file transfer
Many people who want Android messages on Mac also want alert mirroring and direct file movement between devices.
Read Android notifications on Mac for the alert workflow, or Android to Mac file transfer if moving files is part of the same setup.
Install the apps and enable the right permissions
Install LinkMyMac on Android and LinkMyDroid on Mac from the links on the homepage. If setup does not behave as expected, use the support page or email support@linkmymac.com.
