Incoming notifications (including SMS), clipboard content and few other things will automatically get synced across devices. After this initial setup, no intervention is needed. The default screen shows the devices list which are attached with your account, and selecting one of them opens a chat-style UI, much like Pushbullet.

Setup for Join straightforward, install the app from the Play Store, install the required extensions for browser, log in with your Google account and you are done. I have used both the apps for the last few months extensively across three devices, Android, my Windows laptop & desktop PC. Join brought all the major features that Pushbullet had without the monthly pay model.

But that changed with the release of Join. That did not go well with some users as there where no replacements available. All was good and happy until they introduced paid subscription and put two of the most sought after features behind a paywall. It offers clipboard sync, file transfer and notification mirroring across platforms, which also includes iOS.
