The KDE Konnect Kult: Where acronyms shouldn't be used.
F-Droid is the more valuable app store anyway. I always check there before Google Play.
The first time it paused my YouTube video inside Firefox when a call came in on my phone, it blew my mind. And then when the call ended, it just casually resumed the video. I love it. That, the clipboard syncing and easy sharing of files between devices make it absolutely awesome to have.
Especially the file sharing for me. I was previously using USB cable, but during large transfers it tends to just randomly disconnect (thanks MTP). Over WiFi I get faster transfer speeds and it doesn't keep disconnecting.
Although yes, theoretically I could move .tar archive or individual files over WiFi using netcat and Termux, but that's not the most elegant solution. ~~Also for some reason netcat is somewhat broken on Manjaro.~~ ~~Ok, the issue isn't with nc.~~ Ok (2) it is netcat. I just added a 2nd layer of issues that made me think it's not.
Edit 3: Ok. MAYBE netcat. I can see incoming connection in Wireshark and it sends back TCP RST. Edit 4: Tried with UDP, I can see the received text in Wireshark, netcat drank methanol.
And plenty of banking apps consider it as a security threat. ๐
"It's so good that other apps are threatened merely by its presence"
Hmm. I did not know that. Why?
Oh hehe, I had seen KDE connect here and there but never really tried it myself, how are you using it?? What good things does it bring to your lives? :)
It makes sharing files between your PC and phone super easy. And if you set it up right, you can even browse your entire phone's filesystem from your PC as well. Great if you take a lot of photos or download a lot of memes on your phone and want to quickly offload them to your computer. It also lets you play and pause media from your phone, so if you're playing music or watching a movie on your PC and need to pause while AFK, then it comes in pretty handy. Not only that, but it also has a presentation remote and can turn your phone's touchscreen into a trackpad and keyboard; great for HTPCs.
Those are just the features I use, it has way more than that. imho I think it might have too many features lmao
EDIT: Also, how could I forget about the feature that I mainly use KDEC for, the battery indicator plugin. It lets you monitor your phone's battery from your computer.
KDE Connect is awesome. I've been using it since it first came out (I think it was a GSoC project) with a variety of phones, and am 100% happy with it.
BTW, about the naming, KDE stopped the K thing around KDE 4, with apps such as Cantor.
Tbh it's kind of a terrible app. I can never keep it connected and the UX is just painful. The most useful feature is transferring files, but when uploading to my PC the dialog box always closes itself before I can see where the file went.
I can never keep it connected
Disable battery optimization for KDE Connect on Android. (If you're on Samsung you might be screwed. They did weird stuff with optimizations.)

Neat app! Definitely will try it when I get home.
It's actually fine, those permissions are all for actual features, and you only need to grant if you want to use the features that require them.
Yes, I'm just pointing out there is no tracking. Permissions are fine depending on context of what the app actually does
I wonder when there will be a Windows client for KDE Connect. I really miss it at work.
There is already one. I remember using it. But I think the linux one works better than the windows because of better integration.
I am sorry, but it's been in Microsoft store for a while now. There's also offline installer on the download page.
Edit: Based on archive.org, at least since April 2020.
I suggest the offline installer over the Microsoft Store version.
The option to share files via right click > "Send to" seen below doesn't appear for me using the Microsoft Store version.
