PB for Desktop For Mac

PB for Desktop is a client application developed for the Pushbullet online service that offers you the possibility to push alerts to all your devices effortlessly.

The Pushbullet service comes with companion apps for all major desktop or mobile platforms, such as Mac or Windows, Android, and iPhone.

Note that you can connect to the web app via any web browser, but there are also dedicated add-ons for Chrome, Firefox, and Opera.

Worth mentioning is that PB for Desktop does not make you go through complicated setups: you can login using your Facebook or Google credentials. Once everything is set, within the PB for Desktop's main window you get to see all connected devices.

The Pushbullet service will ask for permission to handle certain details related to your accounts, but keep in mind that you can revoke the access at any time. The best part is that you can invite friends to join the service and use it to send messages or share files.

The PB for Desktop app comes with a status bar menulet where you can choose to quickly activate the app’s main window, snooze notifications, or toggle the audio alerts.

Within the PB for Desktop main window, you get to see the list of connected friends together with your conversation and shared files, associated devices, Pushbullet channels you are monitoring, or the remote files collection.

However, PB for Desktop also integrates with the Notification Center and shows all the messages as alerts as soon as you receive them. This way, you can stay on top of everything without cluttering your desktop.

Bottom line, PB for Desktop is essentially a desktop client for the Pushbullet web application: you get to connect to the service, push or receive notifications, follow channels, or keep track of everything happening on your devices.

However, PB for Desktop is not an official client for the service even though you need to have the Pushbullet companion apps up and running on all the devices you want to connect with.
