Resano’s phone-to-desktop SMS relay
Resano describes an in-development service for receiving Android texts on a desktop, filling verification codes in a browser, and replying from a computer.
- For
- Android users who want desktop access to texts
- Worth noticing
- The page says replies are limited to 60 per hour, while starting conversations with new numbers is a separate switch, off by default.
Field notes
The page lays out a device-linking flow in which a QR scan and matching number precede desktop approval. It describes separate permissions for linked devices and browser profiles, and says notifications reveal message counts rather than senders or contents. Replies can be sent from the computer through the phone’s SIM; the page also gives separate limits for replying to existing contacts and starting conversations with new numbers.
