Text from your Mac with your Android phone

Read your texts and reply from your Mac’s keyboard. Messages still go from your phone and your number, and they stay on your phone.

How it works

1
Turn it on from your phone
Allow Crosslink to read and send texts. Sending from your Mac has its own switch.
2
Read on your Mac
Your conversations show on your Mac, with an alert when a new text arrives.
3
Reply
Type on your Mac. Your phone sends the text and confirms it went.

Your number, your phone
Crosslink doesn’t replace your messages app. Your phone sends and keeps your texts as usual.
Names, not numbers
With access to your contacts, conversations show people’s names.
Alerts that wait
If your Mac is asleep, new-text alerts wait for it for up to 24 hours.
A safety net
Your phone shows a notice for every text sent from your Mac, and limits how many it will send.

RCS chats don’t appear, because Android gives other apps no way to read them, so some conversations may look incomplete.
Picture messages (MMS) aren’t supported yet.

End-to-end encrypted
Only your own devices hold the keys, so not even we can read what you send.
Pairing, not passwords
A stolen password isn’t enough. Every new device needs a scan or your approval.
Every switch is yours
Each feature has its own switch, and the sensitive ones only turn on from your phone.

Can I text from my Mac with an Android phone?

Yes. With Crosslink, you type on your Mac and your Android phone sends the text from your number.

Do my texts show in Apple’s Messages app?

No. They show in Crosslink on your Mac. Apple’s Messages app only works with iPhones.

Is texting from the Mac free?

It’s part of Pro, at ₹199 a month or ₹1,999 a year in India.

Crosslink is invite-only while we test. Tell us a little about you and we’ll email an invite when there’s a place.
