About KDE Connect
KDE Connect is a cross-device connectivity project that lets devices such as phones and computers communicate with each other. It covers file and link sharing, remote browsing of phone files, syncing phone notifications to a desktop, replying to text messages from a computer, remote media control, and using a phone as a presentation remote or trackpad. Users can also run pre-defined or self-made commands on connected devices, ring a misplaced phone, and see its battery level from the desktop. The site describes the project as open source and free to use. Optional integrations include Plasma Browser Integration for sharing links and controlling website media in Firefox or Google Chrome, and support for VPNs such as OpenVPN, which the site presents as useful when a network does not allow devices to communicate.
