Pushbullet

Unlike Vysor, Pushbullet doesn’t give you a whole lot of control of your smartphone on your laptop. Instead, it is very basic and for those who do not want too much from the app. You get all the notifications, you can send and receive files and messages, that comes with optional encryption. You also get a universal copy/paste program in the place that helps you to manage your messages faster. With Pushbullet you can control several devices at a time.

AirDroid

AirDroid is also one of the most powerful tools to control your Android smartphone from Windows as it does all the important stuff like managing your messages, send notifications, mirrors the screen, and a lot of other cool stuff. However, the mirroring on this one isn’t as smooth but it will do the work for you.

Scrcpy

Scrcpy takes the whole controlling thing a notch above as it gives you even more features than Vysor. Scrcpy allows screen mirroring, and notification management but it also requires a USB or a Wi-Fi connection to pair. It is also an open-source program so you’ll have to work around a little bit to get all the features. You can download all the ready-made options from GitHub right now.
