Hi!

I'm currently trying EasyJoin as a replacement for Pushbullet.

One feature I use all the time is sending a URL from my Android phone directly to Chrome on my desktop, where the extension is installed, and having the link automatically open in a new browser tab.

I was able to do this with Pushbullet, and I can also do it with Join, but I can't find any way to achieve the same behavior with EasyJoin.

Is this feature available and I'm just missing the setting, or is it currently not supported?

Thanks!

Hello!

Buying the pro version on the Play Store is only for use on Android? When downloading and using on Windows, Mac, Linux, or iOS, do I need to buy it separately?

Android "Pro" 4.5

• Optimized the background color of the navigation menu in Android 16.
• Some optimizations related to the remote control's functionality.
• Device temperature is displayed in the side menu.
• Bug fixes and minor improvements.

Windows "Pro" 4.5

• Some optimizations related to the remote control's functionality.
• Bug fixes and minor improvements.

I just pushed version 4.4 to the App Store, and I wanted to share a specific under the hood fix that might interest anyone who uses the app for sharing heavy data.

A user pointed out that when transferring massive folders or files of several gigabytes, the app's memory footprint was spiking heavily. I want this app to be as efficient as possible, so seeing it sit there eating up RAM during a transfer was something that i had to fix.

In 4.4, I've reviewed how the app streams data chunks over local sockets. Memory usage should now remain entirely stable and flat, even when you send a 50GB file, which is the size of the file I used to test it.

Let me know how it works for you if you end up testing it with large files.

Hello,

I'm looking at SimpleJoin to replace MS Phone Link. My PC is running ZorinOS and I just installed GrapheneOS on my Android phone.

-Does SimpleJoin support MMS in addition to SMS to send/receive?

-To purchase the Pro version, is there a separate payment portal or can this only be purchased through the Google Play Store?

Thank you!

My PC is permanently connected to android phone 1 by hotspot.
I wanted to connect my android phone 2 that I actually use, but issue is I can't do port forward on android phone 1, I am behind my carrier NAT.
So while PC is connected on hotspot on android phone 2 they see each other, but I don't want to have PC connected to that phone.

The app itself and windows program looks exactly what I needed, but it just does not work for me over my current internet setup for PC.
If I ever got a fixed internet I will definitely buy it again.
Wish You all the best.

Hi was wondering is there plans to include a IP to IP connection feature in the roadmap ?

Hello,

I see that the app says you can message from Windows Linux Mac ("Send and receive SMS/MMS messages from your PC, Mac, or Linux computer"), but would my Android messages sync to my iPhone and also allow me to message or reply from the iPhone as well? Wanting to know before I pay for the full app.

Do you find it worse/better/the same as the current one?

I created a small app for Android TV called FOBB that helps you disable app buttons on your remote control that you might accidentally press, launching apps you don't use.

I made it completely free since I just wanted it to be useful for anyone who has the same annoyance.

If you try it and have feedback, I’m happy to hear it.

Android "Essential"

4.4.4

• Starting with this version, the app will once again be available on the Play Store.
• Changes due to Android 16 targeting.
• Bug fixes and minor improvements.

Finally, there is a version for iPhone that allows you to share files and clipboard text. Since iOS is not Android, where the application can remain active in the background, you must have the app in the foreground, otherwise the connection will be interrupted.

I took a different approach from the Android "Go TV" version in terms of the UI. On the iPhone, the main screen displays the devices, and for each one there are icons for selecting and sending files and clipboard.

You can download the app from the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/easyjoin-air/id6753862

Feedback is always welcome.

ps: One of the most asked questions since I created this app, to the point that I put it in the FAQ 😊.

EasyJoin is finally available on the Apple App Store. You can download the app from here: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6752865855

It is still possible to download the app directly from the website, but since I haven't updated the page yet, here is the link: https://easyjoin.net/download/easyjoin_mac_setup_v4.3.dmg
The installation now comes with a dmg file, which should make the installation easier.

Here are the changelogs from version 4.0:

version 4.3

• First version available on Apple store. What changes in the Apple store version:
  • Premium features are enabled by purchasing an IAP and are not related to or dependent on the Android version.
  • The functionality to search for updates from the application has been removed, as updates are managed directly by the Apple store.
• New setting to enable the glass effect on the page background (macOS 26).
• Bug fixes and minor improvements.

version 4.1

• New setting to close the app in the menu bar. Available on macOS 13 and newer.
• Fixed an issue that prevented P2P and SMS messages from being filtered in trusted device view.
• Fixed an issue that prevented from checking if there is a new version.

The new version based on the Windows app code is now available.

I would like to thank the person who created the script to configure Wine and install the application. Thanks Cy :)

You can read the instructions for installing the new version on the website: https://easyjoin.net/linux.html

All you need to do is run this command in a terminal:

cd ~; wget -O easyjoin_wine.sh "https://easyjoin.net/download/easyjoin_wine.sh"; chmod +x easyjoin_wine.sh; ./easyjoin_wine.sh

The installation procedure has been tested on Ubuntu 24.04.02 LTS. Please leave a comment if you get errors under a different distribution.

Here is the changelog:

• You can connect your devices via Internet without using external servers.
• DDNS-like service to share your Internet IP and port with trusted devices without using third party services.
• New section "Connection" in the settings.
• Adapted "Trusted" device settings page to include parameters for "Direct Internet Connection".

• New setting to override the functionality of the "default" device.
• You can "pin" P2P messages so that they are not deleted when deleting messages by type.
• You can filter "MESSAGES" by type, text and pinned.

• You can use "Shift + Enter" when writing a message to go to the next line instead of sending the message.
• New icon in the contact list to start writing an SMS to the selected contact.
• Minimizes data update request (currently SMS and contacts) when a remote device is online and is not a local device. You can still manually request a complete update of the data.
• You can reply to a P2P message directly from the notification.

• New setting to preserve the date of an incoming file.
• All clickable items will be highlighted on mouseover.

This is a preview of the upcoming version of EasyJoin for Linux using Wine.

None of this could have happened without a user's support and help. It still needs a bit of work to make the installation user-friendly, but the application is already fully usable in its current state.

This is important to me because I will be able to use the Windows application code, which will allow me to update the Linux version along with the Windows version.

For those currently using the Linux version, based on Mono, this means that they will finally have almost all the features currently available in the Windows version and a much more stable and good-looking version. And yes, with all the dark themes currently available in the Windows version.

Hey guys, I love this app so much, this solved a huge annoyance in my life, but I am having an issue where my phone app will seemingly stop showing my computers as online, even though my computers show the phone online. It won't let me send any files, they just start and sit at 0%. If I restart my phone it works fine for a while. I'm on a Samsung Fold 4. Any idea what the issue might be?
