KDE Connect

KDE Connect is a multi-platform application developed by KDE, which facilitates wireless communications and data transfer between devices over local networks.[6][7][8][9][10] KDE Connect is available in the repositories of many Linux Distributions and F-Droid,[11] Google Play Store[12] for Android. Often, distributions bundle KDE Connect in their KDE Plasma desktop variant. KDE Connect has been reimplemented in the GNOME desktop environment as GSConnect, which can be obtained from Gnome Extension Store.[13] Since 2021, KDE connect has also been available on Windows,[14] and it is available as an unstable nightly build on macOS.[15]
