(You do need to be signed in to your Google Account on your device since the application uses Google Cloud Messaging)

Configure Alt-C to open specific types of text in various applications. Open URLs in your Web Browser, Email addresses in your email app, GPS co-ordinates in your Maps app, Phone Numbers in the Dialer and Text in your favourite note taking application. Configure your Alt-C Auto Launch experience under Settings!
(ALL Text is parsed on the device itself)

Pasting from your Smart Device to your PC

Comments on Alt-C for Android

★★★★★ Omg I was so incredibly happy to realize that the app updated!! I use a Mac for work and my phone is Android, so being able to copy text seamlessly between the platforms has been a godsend and I use it daily (for copying from Android to Mac - the program needs to be in the foreground on the phone when you try to paste on the computer). When it stopped working a few weeks ago, I was afraid the project wouldn't get updated to the new Cloud protocol, but I'm glad I was wrong - thank you!

★★★★★ I had a great experience with this app on my previous laptop. I recently installed on my new laptop, and I've only gotten it to work a few times. When I try Alt-C now, I get a desktop notification saying that my text has been copied to the other device, but it's not actually copying. I'm hoping the developers can help me. I really LOVE this app when it works, and MISS it when it doesn't work. EDIT: Okay it seems to work when the app is open in the foreground on my smartphone. Thank you to the other reviewer who mentioned that. EDIT 2: I closed the app window on my phone, and Alt-C still works okay. Weird.

★★☆☆☆ The app is able to Sync Clipboard of Pc, but it is not able to Sync Clipboard of Android phone whenever I copy something in my phone then text copied appears but when I go to my Pc and do alt v it shows message in my phone that "Couldn't paste the text to your pc- Make sure you copied text to your device" Even though it has been copied into clipboard Kindly fix this error
