TuxPick

Phone Link on Linux

Phone Link comes with Windows, so it won't be on a new Linux PC. This free app does the same job, and TuxPick installs it for you.

Links your phone to your computer for notifications, file sharing and more.

Installs from Ubuntu's own software archive.

How to install on Ubuntu

  1. Press the install button above. TuxPick opens with the app already ticked. Add anything else you need.
  2. Download the installer file.
  3. Open a terminal with Ctrl Alt T, run the one line TuxPick shows you, and type your password when asked.

It works on Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04, and on systems built on them like Zorin OS and Pop!_OS.
