The app is also mentioned among cross-device connectivity tools that bridge smartphones and PCs, offering features like screen mirroring and file sharing. While not a direct replacement for Microsoft Phone Link, GlideX focuses on extending your desktop workspace using a spare tablet, making it a niche but effective solution for users who want a secondary screen without additional hardware costs.
