Pushbullet is an app that makes connections between your devices. Using pushes, you can easily transfer links and notes from one device to another.

Pushbullet works as an browser extension and app, and is currently available for Android, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. You need to install the app (Android) or extension (browsers) for the push functionality to work.

See https://www.pushbullet.com/apps to check if a specific device is supported.
