Reviews: What People Think About KDE Connect

Rating: 4/5

For an open-source app, I am impressed with how good it is. Sending files and photos/videos from my phone to my laptop works seamlessly. And so does using the remote input. A couple things don’t work though: - I can’t receive files from my computer. I use the Gnome extension to send a jpeg to my phone and the KDE Connect iOS app just vibrates, no photo in my camera roll or iCloud Drive. - The “ping” feature only works if the app is open. Looks like the app needs to integrate with Apple’s notification framework to deliver these notifications while the app is in the background.

This app fixes a fundamental problem I’ve always had with doing cross platform work between my mobile device and my desktop computer, that being the easy transfer of files from one to another. Historically, I used services like Google Drive or Dropbox to complete these tasks, but they can be irritating to operate on mobile devices. This app not only offers quick transfer of files, but also offers an easy to operate interface without clutter. I already love the KDE team and what they do for the open source/linux community, and this only strengthens my support for them.

I’m blown away by the user experience in this app. Just by installing the `kdeconnect` package on my desktop, I could find my machine and pair within minutes. The UI is laid out cleanly and uses Apple’s native design principles, so it feels like a stock app. Meanwhile, on my Macbook Air, I constantly need to reboot both my laptop and phone just to use features like clipboard sharing and AirDrop! This has been an issue ever since macOS Catalina. The KDE team made iOS integration that “just works” better than Apple could, and I can’t recommend this app enough. It works on any linux setup, but I run KDE Plasma and it’s beautifully integrated.
