What is Text Desk?
We believe your time, productivity and intellectual focus are very important while you are diligently working at your PC. Interruptions can lower your productivity level and hinder your focus. Text Desk aims to help you stay focused on your current task while maintaining your current level of productivity by conveniently displaying text messages sent to your smart phone right on your Windows PC.
Why do I need it?
At our office, we work on our PCs all day. We get tired of having to stop what we are doing, pickup our phone, unlock it, navigate to the text messaging app, read the message, optionally reply to the message, put the phone back down, and then go back to what we were working on. With Text Desk running on your Android smart phone and your Windows 10 PC, a brief, friendly notification automatically pops up on your PC screen when you receive a text message on your smart phone. This allows you to briefly glance at the message and optionally reply right from your PC without ever touching your phone.
How does it work?
When you receive a text message on your smart phone, Text Desk forwards your message to the cloud. From the cloud, your message is pushed to your paired Windows 10 PC and a popup notification appears on your PC screen. When you reply to a text message from your PC, or send a new text message from your PC, Text Desk forwards your message back to the cloud. From the cloud, your message is pushed to your smart phone and then sent from your smart phone to the appropriate recipient just like a normal text message.
Why is it different?
We truly believe that the sensitive information on your smart phone should be kept as safe as possible on your device and NOT in the cloud. Our competitors tend to store all your contacts, their mobile phone numbers, and every text message you send and receive in the cloud. We DO NOT permanently store any contact information, text messages, or any other personal information about you in the cloud.
No personal information required!
Text Desk is all about your privacy and protecting your data. You are NOT forced to setup any sort of an "account" with us. We DO NOT require your mobile phone number, name, email, or social media login to use Text Desk. The ONLY information we store about you in the cloud is a few bits of anonymous information about your paired devices so we can direct incoming and outgoing text messages to the correct recipients. Please read our full privacy policy for more details.
