NotiWeave for PC · Coming soon
Your phone’s notifications, on your computer.
NotiWeave for PC is a free browser extension for Chrome and Edge. Your phone’s notifications pop up on your computer, one-time codes are one click to copy, and your clipboard works across both. It all goes straight over your own Wi-Fi, end-to-end encrypted.
Free · Chrome and Edge on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS · works with the NotiWeave Android app
How it works
Pair once. It reconnects by itself.
Your phone and computer need to be on the same Wi-Fi. The extension finds your phone on the network by itself, so there are no addresses to type.
Add the extension
Once NotiWeave for PC is on the Chrome Web Store, add it to Chrome or Edge on your computer. Click its icon in the toolbar and the popup shows a QR code.
Scan it from your phone
In NotiWeave, open Settings → Connect to PC and tap Scan QR code from PC. Point your camera at the code and the two are paired.
Leave it running
From then on they reconnect by themselves whenever both are on that Wi-Fi. No browser tab needs to stay open: the extension runs in the background. Pick which apps are sent under Apps to push.
What you get
Your phone, without picking it up.
Read what came in, copy the code you were waiting for, and move text between your phone and computer, all from the browser you already have open.
Notifications on your desktop
Phone notifications pop up as desktop notifications the moment they land. You choose which apps are sent in the app, under Apps to push, or flip on All apps.
Recent ones in the toolbar
The toolbar popup lists your recent notifications and filters them by app. Press Alt+Shift+N to open it from anywhere, or change the shortcut to one you prefer.
A fuller history
A dashboard tab keeps the last 100 notifications, stored in your browser. One Clear button wipes them whenever you like.
Clipboard sync, both ways
One switch. Copy on your computer and paste on your phone, or the other way round. Phone to computer happens by itself once you allow NotiWeave’s copy watcher in Android’s Accessibility settings. Without it, use Share → Send to PC after copying.
Codes in one click
When a notification carries a one-time code, it arrives with a Copy code button, so Copy 553078 is all it takes to fill in a sign-in on your computer.
Send to phone
Right-click a link, or some text you’ve selected, and choose Send to phone. It lands on your phone, ready to open or paste.
Privacy & security
Straight from your phone to your computer.
Your phone talks directly to your computer over your own Wi-Fi, and everything between them is end-to-end encrypted. There is no NotiWeave server in the middle and no account to sign in to. Nothing goes over the internet for this feature.
- End-to-end encrypted with ECDH P-256 key agreement and AES-256-GCM.
- Your phone only accepts browsers whose QR code it scanned. Nothing else on the network can pair with it.
- Remove a computer from either side, the phone or the browser, whenever you like.
- Notification history stays in your browser: the last 100, cleared with one button.
- The copy watcher only notices Copy taps and “Copied” messages. It can’t see what’s on your screen.

Questions
Good to know.
Is NotiWeave for PC free?
Yes. It’s a free browser extension for Chrome and Edge, and it’s coming soon to the Chrome Web Store. It works with the Connect to PC feature in the NotiWeave Android app.
Do my notifications go over the internet?
No. Your phone sends them straight to your computer over your Wi-Fi, end-to-end encrypted. There’s no NotiWeave server and no account, and nothing goes over the internet for this feature.
Do my phone and computer need to be on the same Wi-Fi?
Yes. The extension finds your phone on the local network by itself, so both need to be on the same Wi-Fi. Guest networks that keep devices apart won’t work. Once paired, they reconnect by themselves whenever both are on that Wi-Fi.
Do I need to keep a browser tab open?
No. The extension runs in the background, so notifications still pop up with no NotiWeave tab open. Press Alt+Shift+N to open the popup at any time. You can change the shortcut.
How does clipboard sync work?
It’s one switch, and it works both ways: copy on your computer and paste on your phone, or the other way round. For phone to computer to happen by itself, allow NotiWeave’s copy watcher in Android’s Accessibility settings. It only notices Copy taps and “Copied” messages, and it can’t see what’s on your screen. Without it, use Share → Send to PC after copying.
How do I disconnect a computer?
Remove it from either side, in the app or in the extension. Your phone only accepts browsers whose QR code it scanned, so a removed computer has to be paired again before it can connect.
