    I think it's a pretty good alternative to Phone Link. You get a lot of similar functionality:

    • share files and link between devices
    • view and reply to phone notifications on your desktop
    • pause/play music playback
    • view battery level
    • supports Bluetooth connections
    • share clipboard
    • cross-platform support (Win, *nix)

    It does have more features that I don't use, such as remote control.

    Though I'd really like to see it do screen mirroring or integrate with scrcpy.

    It does not support bluetooth connection or making controlling calls. It is just a simple remote control software for presentation control, media player and notifications transfer.
