Android notifications on Mac, without constantly checking your phone.

LinkMyMac mirrors Android notifications to your Mac so messages, alerts, and call events are easier to handle from the desktop. Quick replies are available for supported notification actions.

What You Get

See alerts, act faster, stay in flow

  • View Android notifications on your Mac as they arrive.
  • Handle incoming call events without reaching for your phone.
  • Use quick reply actions where Android exposes supported reply controls.
  • Keep working on your desktop while your phone stays nearby.
Supported Workflow

Notification mirroring with direct pairing

Setup starts the same way as the rest of LinkMyMac: install the Android app, open LinkMyDroid on Mac, scan the QR code, and let the apps pair over a local connection. Once connected, your Mac can receive mirrored notification data from Android.

For some apps, Android exposes reply actions that LinkMyMac can surface on Mac. That is why this page says supported notification actions instead of promising identical behavior for every app.

Related Use Cases

Pair notifications with file transfer and clipboard sync

Many people looking for Android notifications on Mac also want a broader bridge between their phone and desktop. LinkMyMac also covers clipboard sync, media controls, contacts, and direct file transfer.

If moving content is your main need, read Android to Mac file transfer.

Get Started

Download the apps and enable the right permissions

Install LinkMyMac on Android and LinkMyDroid on Mac from the links on the homepage. For notification mirroring, Android will ask for the system access needed to read and relay notifications.

If setup does not behave as expected, use the support page or email support@linkmymac.com.
