Looking for recommendations on how to SMS from a computer, á la Pushbullet or some such. Currently using Google Messages with companion desktop/web app and love the experience, but am on a de-Googling quest and looking for alternatives.

Prefer FOSS options (love the Fossify stuff, for example) but an willing to pay a slight premium if required. Would like solution to be compatible with any web browser and Windows but Linux (Mint) would work, too.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!

    Does it really need to be said that OP is probably trying to retain the ability to send messages outside of his own network?

      It can do that. It’s just that the computer and the device sending the messages need to be on the same network. Not the device receiving the messages.

        Ahhh okay okay, maybe I misunderstood. I was under the impression that it could only send messages between devices on the same LAN.
