Alt-C (Text transfer app)


Alt-C is one of the most revolutionary apps, though it has a far more utilitarian purpose than sending a random "Hey!" to your friends: it lets you copy text & links back & forth between your Android smartphone & Windows PC. It’s a lot like PushBullet’s universal copy and paste function, just without all the other frills that PushBullet offers.

Using it is very easy; just install the desktop & Android apps (Mac & iOS apps are still on their way) and then link the two devices using the code displayed on your device’s screen. Unlike other similar apps, there’s no need to create an account here, which according to me is a major plus point!

To copy text from your computer to your Android smartphone, just highlight it and then press the hotkey combo – ALT+C to get the work done. The copied text then appears in your list on your Android device.
To copy from your Android device to the computer, just copy the text as normal and then hit ALT+V and it will show up in the list on your computer.

Both devices keep a synced list of copied text, so you can always retrieve the information you have transferred previously, but only upto a maximum of 50 entries.

It’s a simple app, and it does just one thing, but that’s pretty damn handy if all that you need is to copy text to and from the devices in front of you.
