I'm a little wary in how it works, does it read all my notifications (texts, bank alerts, emails) send them to pushbullet servers, then send them again to my computer? Or is their some pairing encryption step I'm missing?
marcopolo: Wondering if you have similar data security concerns regarding SMS, especially those received via an SMS gateway?
This is sweet. I've found on iOS at least that having iMessage on the computer means I never text on my phone during the day. I'd love to be able to avoid those notifications too if possible.
How does their business plan works? I don't see them charging anywhere.

EDIT: I think it is really neat and awesome, but I would really like to know how do you earn your revenue before I try it out.

We have a plan for earning revenue but haven't deployed it yet. This feature furthers our vision for notifications as does the rest of our service. We'll be focusing on revenue soon but right now we're focused on growing since people are excited to sign up.
Thank you for the answer:)

I was expecting similar answer. Being cautions because there are no free things.

I might give it a try.

Do you upload my phone contacts to your server at any point?
Nope, we just let you add friends in the app from your contact list. (If you add them, then we do get their name and email so we can put them on your friend list.)
Nicely done but Krome supports basic encryption. Would really like it if you guys can add that too.
