    Unlike Pushbullet there is no way to access your information from a web page. You must also be on the same network, forcing you to setup a VPN if you aren't on the same wifi.

    Way too complicated to make it work. In this sense, is as far as possible from Pushbullet as it can get, it's like installing an operating system.

    I don't want to install a local server to share files, texts & links, but if I wanted to do that -- all I ask is for a 1 executable file that installs everything in one go, set & forget. No Docker image, no 30 steps and 2 hours to configure a server, no fancy options.
