- Multimedia remote control: Use your phone as a remote for Linux media players.
- WiFi connection: no USB wire or bluetooth needed.
- End-to-end TLS encryption: your information is safe.

Please note you will need to install KDE Connect on your computer for this app to work, and keep the desktop version up-to-date with the Android version for the latest features to work.

Sensitive permissions information:

Pretty nice app. My one request would be to turn off certain apps I don't want to have notified on my laptop. For example, I have a redundant SMS notification since I already have a program on my computer I use. I get alerted twice. Same thing with my email notifications. Just trying to cut down on the redundancy. Hats off to the developers though. You made a pretty awesome app.

This app is ridiculously good. It supports a ton of functionality, and it is very performant. It's kinda wild to be able to pause a video on my laptop by using my smart watch, but the media remote feature just simply works. The clipboard feature doesn't even require me to click anything, the text is just available for pasting on my phone instantly. KDE is the best!

Great app, allows me to sync my phone to any computer without keeping me in any manufacturer's ecosystem. My only gripe is that the UI and UX on both desktop and mobile is pretty confusing and takes a while to figure out. It would be nice if there was clear messaging about what operating systems are supported on the desktop side, and if there was some kind of walk-through on first run.
