Looking for recommendations on how to SMS from a computer, á la Pushbullet or some such. Currently using Google Messages with companion desktop/web app and love the experience, but am on a de-Googling quest and looking for alternatives.
Prefer FOSS options (love the Fossify stuff, for example) but an willing to pay a slight premium if required. Would like solution to be compatible with any web browser and Windows but Linux (Mint) would work, too.
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!
You might want to look into KDE connect. I don’t use it myself, but it might be what you’re looking for.
Does https://pushover.net/ work for you? Been using it for several years, works really well and can be used in several applications.
Or some minor scripting with curl.
Please be aware of comm rule 2: Don’t promote proprietary software
I’ll look into it, but I’m in favor of SMS exclusively (syncing) so I can see all/whole conversations and to just get all notifications and quick-reply to the texts as I get them.
Could you elaborate on how to implement the
curl
solution?I mis understood, sms is pretty much history over here, so I considered you where looking for some way of sending messages to your phone.
Pushover supports a simple api, which can be used with curl. A la: https://support.pushover.net/i44-example-code-and-pushover-libraries#unix
I’ve used Twilio for that. There is a simple JSON API with code examples on their site.
I don’t think this is what OP is looking for
