Calls & notifications on Mac
Your phone's notifications and calls, handled from your Mac
How to see Android notifications on a Mac: install Syncsaurs and every phone notification appears in the Mac Notification Center — with inline reply for messaging apps. Place calls from your Mac, browse call history, manage contacts. Your phone stays in your bag.
The dozens of daily pick-ups
When your phone buzzes, you check it — and that one check has a way of turning into ten minutes of scrolling. With notifications in the Mac Notification Center, you glance, decide, and move on. Reply right there if it matters; ignore it if it doesn't.
Click a notification and the app opens instantly in a mirroring window. A smart filter weeds out duplicate and low-value notifications.
About calls — the honest version
You can place calls from your Mac (one click dials on the phone), see incoming calls as notifications, and manage call history and contacts. But call audio cannot be routed to Mac speakers — that's a macOS platform limitation, and it applies to every app, not just ours. Take the actual call on your phone or Bluetooth earbuds. We'd rather tell you exactly what works.

Frequently asked questions
Can I reply to messaging notifications?
Yes. Any notification that supports inline reply on Android can be answered right from the Mac notification. For longer conversations, click through to the mirroring window.
Can I take calls through my Mac's speakers?
No — and we'll be straight about it. macOS cannot act as a Bluetooth hands-free device for a phone, so no app can route call audio to the Mac. Syncsaurs gives you dialing, incoming-call alerts, call history and contacts on the Mac; the voice part happens on your phone or earbuds.
Won't I drown in notifications?
A smart filter drops duplicates and ongoing notifications (like media playback), and you can choose which apps mirror at all.
Does any of this leave my devices?
No. Notifications, contacts and call history travel directly between your Mac and phone — never through an outside server.
Is it free?
Connecting and screen mirroring (standard resolution) are free. Notification, call and contact integrations unlock with Pro.
