Answers for setup, compatibility, and troubleshooting.

Does LinkMyMac need a cloud account?

No. LinkMyMac is built around direct local device communication rather than a required cloud account.

Does it work over Wi-Fi and USB?

Yes. Both Wi-Fi and USB workflows are supported, which gives you the choice between a wireless or wired setup.

Can I use it on iPad?

Yes. LinkMyDroid on iPad supports clipboard, file transfer, photos, messages, notifications, contacts, and Wi-Fi Direct workflows.

Which languages are available?

LinkMyMac and LinkMyDroid support English, French, and Spanish. New users can follow the system language when it is supported, choose a language during onboarding, or change it later in Settings.

Which permissions should I allow?

Allow notification access for mirrored Android alerts and supported replies, file and photo access for transfers and media browsing, camera and microphone access for webcam and mic workflows, and local network or USB prompts for pairing.

Where do transferred files go?

Received files are stored in the destination device's download area or the equivalent local receiving location.

Can I reply to Android notifications from Mac?

Quick replies work for supported notification actions exposed by Android. The exact behavior depends on what a specific app makes available.

Does LinkMyMac handle incoming calls?

LinkMyMac surfaces incoming call events and related controls where supported so you can react from your Mac more quickly.

Do I need to pair the devices every time?

No. After the first QR-based pairing, the devices can reconnect automatically when both apps are open.

What should I check if pairing fails?

• Make sure LinkMyMac is installed on Android.
• Open LinkMyDroid on Mac or iPad so the QR code is visible.
• Confirm the required permissions are granted on Android.
• Check that both devices can reach each other over the intended connection.
• If it still fails, contact support@linkmymac.com.
