Bru

Bidirectional Remote Uplink

Bru (bridge in Norwegian) syncs your Android SMS to any browser, so you can text from the computer you're already working on instead of reaching for your phone. It does this by creating an end-to-end encrypted connection to a companion app running as a background service on your phone.

Features

Install the companion app and pair the phone by scanning the QR-code below.

Unsigned debug build

This APK is an unsigned debug build, not published on the Play Store. Android will warn you about installing an unknown app. You'll need to allow it to sideload.

Synchronization of messages may take a few moments the first time.

Note: While this service does not use cookies, it does save your messages locally in your browser.

How does it work?

Bru leverages Iroh to create a connection between your computer and phone.*

As long as the devices are online, Iroh finds a way to connect them. Your data is encrypted and not readable by anyone but you.
