KDE Connect lacks the most sacred function, the dismiss button that clears the notification in the phone and opens space to more notifications. It is not an alternative to Pushbullet and maybe will never be. You can't even decide how many seconds the notification will be on the screen.

Unlike Pushbullet there is no way to access your information from a web page. You must also be on the same network, forcing you to setup a VPN if you aren't on the same wifi.

Excellent in way too many respects to list here, but it's not like Pushbullet.

Way too complicated to make it work. In this sense, is as far as possible from Pushbullet as it can get, it's like installing an operating system.

I don't want to install a local server to share files, texts & links, but if I wanted to do that -- all I ask is for a 1 executable file that installs everything in one go, set & forget. No Docker image, no 30 steps and 2 hours to configure a server, no fancy options.
