Been using telegram saved messages since pushbullet stopped working in Chrome but it's not as convenient.

Dev shoot me an invite code please 😂👍

I read you took some time off or something of that sort, but I'm just wondering if there are any news on the project?

Is this project dead too?

Was looking for the actual pushbullet replacement we all been waiting for! :'(

Details are here: https://github.com/caronc/apprise. This is one of the killer features for me about Pushbullet.

Also, a way to export all my pushes and import to usefwd would be awsome.

Hey everyone! Hamza here.

Apologies for the radio silence over the last couple of weeks. I've had my head down deep in code, and I'm thrilled to finally come up for air with a big progress update on fwd:

My number one priority from the start was getting the security model right. I'm happy to report that the full End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) system is now completely implemented. This was by far the most challenging part of the build, and it took the most time because getting it right was non-negotiable. Every note, link, or file you send through fwd: is encrypted on your device and can only be decrypted by your other trusted devices. The encryption also covers the notifications and SMSs that will be synced across devices.

With that security foundation in place, the apps themselves have been coming together quickly. Here's where we stand:

• ✅ The Android & iOS apps are almost feature-complete.
• 🚀 I've officially started the submission process for the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store!
• ✅ The Chrome extension is ready and working.
• ✅ You can securely pair up to 10 devices to a single account.

Currently, my focus is on building the native macOS menu bar app to make the desktop experience as seamless as possible.

Submitting to the app stores is one of the final major hurdles. This means we are getting incredibly close to being able to send out the first private beta invites.

I'm so excited to get this into your hands. Let me know in the comments: What platform are you most excited to try fwd: on first?

Cheers, Hamza.

Hey everyone,

I know that everyone here has been on the same frustrating search for a solid Pushbullet replacement. It's the reason this community exists.

To centralise all that collective knowledge and experience, I've put together a comprehensive guide on the current landscape of alternatives. It covers the technical problems (like Manifest V3), reviews the common workarounds, and lays out the vision for fwd:.

You can read the full article here: https://usefwd.io/blog/pushbullet-alternatives-2025

Since you are the core community, your feedback is the most valuable. I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts:

• Do you agree with the analysis?
• Are there any other alternatives or workarounds you've tried that I should have included?

Thanks for being here and helping to shape this project!

So... Is there a way to contribute? What language are U using? Talking about privacy: Will we be able to self host the backend?

I’m tired of it being abandoned and happy to see someone taking the initiative to make a new one happen. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

will the new fwd app be able to import your pushbullet history?

Hey everyone,

Creator of fwd: here. Thank you for being here and for being a part of this journey from the very beginning.

If you're here, you're probably like me: a long-time user of tools like Pushbullet who felt completely left behind. For years, we had a seamless workflow, a digital glue that just worked. Then, it broke.

The Chrome extension died, the apps started to feel abandoned, and the alternatives were either buggy or missing core features. The silence from developers was deafening. This isn't just a feeling; it's a documented reality. This collage of unanswered pleas from the Chrome Web Store is the reason this project, and this community, now exists:

That image is a memorial to a great tool that lost its way, and it's the problem we are here to solve.

Our Mission with fwd:

fwd: is the spiritual successor to Pushbullet, re-engineered from the ground up to be the fast, reliable, and private bridge between your devices that you can actually count on. We're starting with a working Manifest V3 Chrome extension, a native macOS menu bar app, a polished Windows app, and a rock-solid Android client.

The Purpose of This Subreddit:

This community is the heart of the project. I created it to be a direct, open line of communication. This is the place to:

• 🚧 Progress Updates: Get the latest on what's coming next.
• 💡 Request Features: Have an idea that would make fwd: perfect for your workflow? Post it here.
• 🐞 Report Bugs: Find an issue? Let us know so we can squash it.
• ❓ Ask Questions: Get help with setup or learn how to get the most out of the app.
• 💬 Discuss: Share your use cases, talk about productivity, and help us build the best tool possible.

How to Participate:

To keep things organized, please use the post flairs when you submit:

• Bug Report: For when things aren't working as expected.
• Feature Request: For new ideas and suggestions.
• Question / Help: For general inquiries.
• Discussion: For everything else!

My promise to you is transparency. You will never have to wonder if we're still here.

Thank you again for joining. Let's build the tool we've all been missing, together.

P.S. - If you found your way here but haven't signed up for the private beta waitlist yet, you can do so at usefwd.io

Thank you!
