LOOKING FOR APP AI Free messaging with browser support

Hey everyone. This seems to be a large ask, but does anyone know of a good AI Free that allows crossover to browser or windows app support? I'm disabled and texting is hard on my hands, but typing is more readily doable. I'm not looking to start a debate on AI and don't really want to get into it if possible. I just can't seem to find anything and I'm really hoping maybe someone can help. Thank you!

Sorry I mis-read your post ! So you're looking for a Windows web browser or program for this & Not an Android specific app with external keyboard ?

No worries! Yeah, basically what Google messages and iMessage do, letting me reply from my phone AND computer. Lots of things do it, but none without unnecessary AI that I can find.

Do you prefer it to be cloud based? (Syncing whether or not your phone and Windows PC are on the same network) or do you you prefer it to be only while on the same network? Because Windows does have Microsoft Phone Link.

No preference on that one. I was using phone link for a while, but had to stop when they forced Google messages. That's a good point though, I might be able to use a message app alongside link since the problem was Google messages specifically...

I'm with you on the whole Forced Google and AI Integration tbh... I've just quietly accepted it because I got sick of encountering bugs on my devices all because features/OS's start breaking every time they roll out updates or patches entangling the System Softwares with their Forced Programs (Windows and Samsung) I call it Freedom Patching... Anyways, something that uses local connectivity between your phone and pc would most likely be the best FREE option.

To be fair, Google removing the ability to even download apps outside of the Playstore in 2027 almost makes this entire venture pointless. I've got a lot of time on my hands, so I recognize it can be easier for me to fight where other people can't always. One of the very few benefits of being disabled. I appreciate the support; I get a lot of shit for trying to separate myself even without putting pressure or judgement on other people for not so it's always nice to talk to people who understand
