Mine is Local Send which is a FOSS alternative similar to air drop that works across a variety of devices.

I've known about it for longer but just started using KDE Connect over the last year or so.

It's got some bugs, at least for me. Like sometimes my phone won't connect to my computer or like the SMS feature takes forever to load, but having something akin to Pushbullet but free from enshitification has been really great.
