KDE Connect

KDE Connect is an app that keeps all your devices connected and synced, and you can even use it to control them remotely. To use this app correctly, you'll need to have it installed on all the devices you want to sync. Luckily, the software is available on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, Linux, and SailfishOS.

The first step to using KDE Connect is syncing the program on all your devices. If, for example, you want to connect your Windows computer with your Android device, all you have to do is send a pairing request from one and accept it on the other. That's it. From that moment on, the devices will be linked. Of course, you can unlink either device unilaterally at any time.

So what can you do with KDE Connect? A lot of things. One of the program's most useful tools is also the simplest: sending a ping. Thanks to this simple feature, you can make your Android device start ringing at maximum volume. This way, you can always find it right away, without having to look for it all over the house. But, of course, there are many other features that are much more complex.

You can send photos, videos, and all kinds of files between devices. Any document you have on your Android device can be sent to your Windows computer and vice versa. You can also paste from the clipboard on another device. You can even control your computer's cursor from an Android device or play music remotely. Not to mention the possibility of creating special commands, with which, among other things, you can shut down the computer or start processes.

KDE Connect is an app that, although it may not seem so at first glance, is very easy to use. Syncing it between several devices is simple and, once you've done so, the possibilities are practically endless. With it, you can control your computer from your smartphone and vice versa, which can be incredibly useful on many occasions.
