NectarLink is a free, open-source device connectivity application that integrates Android smartphones with Windows and Linux computers, enabling seamless communication, file sharing, and device management.

The application also provides advanced capabilities such as using a smartphone as a webcam, microphone, or remote input device, along with media controls and cross-device content handoff.
