Hi, I’m the dev of PlainApp – the open-source app that lets you securely manage your phone from a web browser. Access files, media, contacts, SMS, calls, and more through a simple, easy-to-use interface on your desktop.

I’m curious:

  • What do you use PlainApp for?
  • If you uninstalled it, why?

Any feedback is welcome — it helps me improve the app. Thanks!

Try the GitHub version — it’s fully featured. The Play Store one has 1M+ downloads, but many features were removed due to Google’s restrictions.

Thanks for all the feedback! From what I’ve gathered, many users prefer having a dedicated desktop app — it feels more convenient, always accessible, and generally more reliable compared to relying solely on the browser. I’ll seriously consider this direction moving forward.
