Tool Open source
NectarLink is a free, open-source application that connects an Android phone with a Windows PC, Linux computer, or preview macOS client. It provides notifications, messaging, calls, clipboard and file transfer, photo access, screen mirroring, phone apps in desktop windows, remote phone and PC controls, phone-as-webcam support, and audio features.
Devices pair by QR code or a six-digit code and communicate directly over a local network or USB, without an account or cloud service. Connections use QUIC with TLS 1.3 and device keys; each feature has its own per-device permission switch. The shared Rust core handles pairing, sessions, storage, protocol, and capability negotiation, while the Windows desktop app uses Qt Quick and Rust and the Android app uses Kotlin and Jetpack Compose.
The project distributes Windows and Android builds through GitHub Releases and documents Linux packages and a macOS preview. The applications and command-line client use GPL-3.0-or-later, core libraries use MPL-2.0, and the protocol documentation uses CC BY 4.0.
