        @guru KDEconnect is an extremely cool app to bridge all your devices. Here is the github repo and KDE community wiki entry. In just a few words:

        1. Link your PCs, Smartphones, Laptops via Wifi or Bluetooth
        2. Share content (send files, share clipboard) encrypted and with nautilus (filemanager) support
        3. Some nifty features for the smartphone:
          • Find my phone (click on desktop and phone will ring)
          • See notifcations, take calls, answer on messager on desktop
          • Send CLI commands/touchscreen/keyboard events to desktop
          • See phone status (battery) on desktop

        Sorry for redundancy, Stefan already mentioned a few of these, i'm just a big fan of this app and would love to see it on UT

              Someone could try to apt install it. It can be paired from the command line

                  @SweDennis As I understand the Wiki, there is some KDE plasma application to be installed or compiled from sources (as I do in FreeBSD) and some app for Android on arm and some protocol between the two.

                    apt install DOES offer it so I guess it has at least been COMPILED for arm. It wants to pull in some 250 mb of dependencies though 😛 I didn't try that. Would have to make some space for it first.

                      good idea to check apt. it's not normal in my android life to install with apt 😉

                      i will try to install this at the weekend and try to pair the device with my desktop

                        Hi. Have you been able to connect your phone with kdeconnect?

                        I would like to try, but apt-get wants to install alot of kde packages.
                        No problem if it works.

                            There is a new version for this for SailfishOS:
                            https://openrepos.net/content/r1tschy/sailfish-connect
                            https://github.com/R1tschY/harbour-sailfishconnect

                            I hope this can be ported?

                              Has there been any update on this? I do not see the KDE connect software in the OpenStore

KDE Connect is available in the repositories of many Linux Distributions and F-Droid, Google Play Store for Android
