KDE Connect

Super easy & convenient to use. Easy to install. Easy set up. Nice feature to be able to use your phone as your mouse/keyboard and send commands to your PC. I really only wanted to connect my phone so this went above and beyond expectations an d I was pleasantly surprised.

very easy to install and use, I was looking for a multimedia remote control and I found a lot of very useful functions, for controlling slides, sending files, remote mouse, and keyboard, etc

A cross-platform FOSS? Yes, please! It is so handy to have if you're in a bind like me with a macOS laptop and Android phone. I also have this installed on my Linux laptop running Zorin OS.

If you are using KDE Plasma, then you can take advantage of the browser integration.

What I like about it

• I get to see notifications on my computer screen and not have to pick up the phone when I hear that beep.
• Can send SMS message directly from the computer.
• The clipboard sharing is so handy - though when it comes to URLs I push them via Firefox.

What I don't like

• Feels a little resource hungry.
• It can really drain the phone battery.
• Okay this is a wishlist item, but it'll be awesome to mirror the screen to the desktop.
• Can do with a facelift to modernise it.
• ~macOS version has not been updated in a while~ - Just noticed a new release as of 2024-06-04 so will give it another go.

Excellent no-nonsense way to connect your phone to PC, or even phone to phone.

It's a good app nonetheless to connect your smartphone to function more than normal smartphone the missing mirroring function make this app a bit lower than scrcpy and myphone explorer
