One thing I really like about KDE is <a href="https://kdeconnect.kde.org/">KDE Connect</a>.</p> <p>KDE Connect connects your phone and computer. This makes it easy to</p> <ul> <li>Transfer files between your devices</li> <li>Copy to the clipboard</li> <li>Run commands remotely</li> <li>Use phone as a presenter</li> <li>Receive phone notifications on your laptop</li> <li>Send SMS from your desktop</li> <li>Locate the device</li> </ul> <p>Most of these features look like gimmicks. However, using them helped my disconnect from my phone while at work. Usually I would place my phone on my desk. It rings, vibrates and distracts. Now I am able to put it away. So KDE Connects helps disconnecting.</p>
