Noti
Receive and interact with Android notifications on your Mac via Pushbullet.
What is Noti?
Noti is a macOS application that lives in the menu bar and relays notifications from an Android phone to a Mac computer. It solves the problem of missing or needing to check your phone for notifications by bringing them directly to your desktop. The app integrates with Pushbullet to sync notifications and allow interactions like dismissing and replying.
Mac users who own an Android phone and want to see and interact with their phone's notifications directly on their computer without constantly picking up their device.
Developers choose Noti for its focused, reliable functionality that does one thing well—notification syncing—with features like dismissal sync and in-notification replies, offering a seamless bridge between Android and macOS.

Pros & Cons
Pros
The app excels at a single task—notification syncing—with a philosophy of doing one thing well, as stated in the README.
Dismissing notifications on Mac automatically dismisses them on Android, and vice versa, reducing device switching.
Allows direct replies to SMS, WhatsApp, and Hangouts messages from the Mac interface, enhancing productivity.
Supports executing notification actions like quick replies from Mac, though it requires Pushbullet Pro as noted in the features.
Cons
The README explicitly states it's unmaintained, meaning no updates, bug fixes, or security patches.
Relies on Pushbullet and its Pro version for full functionality, adding cost and potential setup complexity.
Missing features like conversation interface and file upload, which the README admits are 'nice to have' but not implemented.
The official noti.center domain has been hijacked with spam, creating confusion and potential security risks for users.
