While this still works, updates will be for phonelink-rs instead.
Link your iPhone to your computer via HTTP requests.
- Run the Installer. Then, run the
setup.ps1file to trust your chosen port, and add it to your firewall. Remote requests will not work if you do not do this. Alternatively, you can download the portable version. - Edit your settings by clicking on the icon in your tray. Make sure to change your save location, as it saves it to a folder inside of it's current path by default.
- Download these shortcuts (previous shortcuts adapted for v2):
Answer the questions you are prompted to, or edit the texts inside of the actual shortcut. (You can run the ipconfig command in powershell to find your IP address).
When you share a link, an option should show in your share sheet called "Open link on computer". Once clicked, the link should appear on your computer's browser.
When you share a file or image, an option in your share sheet should show called "Save File on Computer". Once clicked, the file should save wherever you specified.
You can also use the Phonelink extension to control power state and send notifcations.

- Run the Installer. Then, run the
setup.ps1file to trust your chosen port, and add it to your firewall. Requests will not work if you do not do this. (if you manually installed before I created an installer, please delete your PhoneLink folder from wherever you placed it, and delete your startup shortcut.) - Edit your settings by clicking on the icon in your tray. Make sure to change your save location, as it saves it to a folder inside of it's current path by default.

Alternatively, you can make an HTTP request, I would not reccommend this and i would recommend making an android-alternative to shortcuts, makng a script, etc.
