A rewrite of Phonelink for Windows Forms written in Rust, with cross-platform support.

Usage

1. Clone the repository and build, or download a build from the releases section if it exists.

3. Paste the following code into the file. This code will make phonelink run at startup, but not show the terminal window:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run """C:\tools\phonelink-rs\phonelink-rs.exe""", 0 'Change this to your install location
Set WshShell = Nothing

As i don't use linux or macos, if anybody wants to, please make a pull request with instructions on running this app on startup.
