KDE Connect

KDE Connect is a project that aims to communicate all your devices. For example, with KDE Connect you can receive your phone notifications on your computer, or just use your phone as a remote control for your desktop. To achieve this, KDE Connect implements a secure communication protocol over the network, and allows any developer to create plugins on top of it. Currently there are KDE Connect clients on KDE, Android and Blackberry, and soon we will support iPhone as well.

Pushbullet

Pushbullet is the easiest and fastest way to send links, pictures, files, lists, notes, and more right into your phone's notification tray, to your computer, or to a friend, really fast. Originally offering users a synchronized clipboard for universal copy and paste, and phone notifications on their desktop, Pushbullet has now relegated these options to a $5/month "pro" plan, that is due to commence on 1/12/2015.
