    Just curious … Does the app run on the Linux operating system? Or is it Windows only?

    Thanks

      As far as I know there isn’t an official desktop app for Linux. If you are not happy with the browser extensions, you can give Pushbullet Indicator a try, which is an unofficial Pushbullet Ubuntu client.
