TWO DEVICES.ONE THREAD.
Share text, files and phone notifications between Android and Linux. Nothing Link connects a Kotlin Android app to a Rust Linux daemon.

An animated explanation of Android ↔ Linux transfers.
01 / IN MOTION
What moves between devices.
02 / The starting point
Let work move between phone and computer.
Text copied on a phone, a file on the PC, a notification to find: the same work continues across two devices.
03 / What it brings together
- 01Share text between Android and Linux.
- 02Transfer files between devices.
- 03Forward phone notifications.
04 / Under the interface
- The constraint
- Keep an Android client and a Linux daemon compatible across platforms and connection interruptions.
- The decision
- The project pairs a Kotlin Android application with a Rust Linux daemon. A common protocol organises exchanges, with explicit pairing and Noise-encrypted application messages.
Continuity goes beyond the interface: connections, reconnections and resuming a file transfer are part of the experience too.
05 / What this explores
Connecting two platforms.
Connecting applications, designing a common protocol and making exchanges understandable: this project explores continuity between separate tools.
