kdeconnect-android's Introduction

KDE Connect - Android app

KDE Connect is a multi-platform app that allows your devices to communicate (eg: your phone and your computer).

(Some) Features

Shared clipboard: copy and paste between your phone and your computer (or any other device).
Notification sync: Read and reply to your Android notifications from the desktop.
Share files and URLs instantly from one device to another.
Multimedia remote control: Use your phone as a remote for Linux media players.
Virtual touchpad: Use your phone screen as your computer's touchpad and keyboard.

All this without wires, over the already existing WiFi network, and using TLS encryption.

A lot of useful information, including how to get started working on KDE Connect and how to connect with the current developers, is on our KDE Community Wiki page

For bug reporting, please use KDE's Bugzilla. Please do not use the issue tracker in GitLab since we want to keep everything in one place.

To contribute patches, use KDE Connect's Gitlab. On Gitlab (as well as on our old Phabricator) you can find a task list with stuff to do and links to other relevant resources. It is a good idea to also subscribe to the KDE Connect mailing list.

Please know that all translations for all KDE apps are handled by the localization team. If you would like to submit a translation, that should be done by working with the proper team for that language.
