KDE Connect can also be used to transfer files between your devices.
In a nutshell, KDE Connect is a project that allows all your devices to communicate with each other. Here are some of the things KDE Connect can do:
To achieve this, KDE Connect:
Features of KDE Connect
plasmoid development
You can use plasmawindowed to easily run Plasmoid (even on non-KDE environments). Set up your developer environment, then run make install, and then run plasmawindowed org.kde.kdeconnect to launch Plasmoid and see the changes.
Mobile-friendly QML App
The kdeconnect-app component of the desktop version is also suitable for mobile Linux environments.
Desktop SMS messaging app
KDE Connect has an SMS messaging client that allows you to import and view SMS messages from your computer. It supports basic features and works correctly in almost all cases. If you are interested in trying or developing, you can build it from source. It is automatically built as part of KDE Connect and exported as 'kdeconnect-sms'.
Perfect for contributing to KDE
KDE Connect is the perfect project to start contributing to KDE. You will need a basic understanding of programming concepts, the rest you can learn by doing. Experience with Android or Qt is beneficial, but not essential.
Have a group to discuss development. You can access it from Telegram, IRC (#kdeconnect) or Matrix (#kdeconnect: kde.org). Feel free to ask any questions regarding development there.
All patches are submitted on Gitlab. You don't need to specify any reviewers, developers are subscribed to notifications. If this is your first patch, you should be aware that it may take some time before your patch is reviewed and you may have to make some changes several times. It's not because you're new, it's for all reviews (even for longtime contributors).
