This is a killer app. There have been times when I asked someone "why can't you just send me a screenshot on signal" or "Oh, can't you copy the URL to your desktop?"... only to realize that the poor fellow didn't have KDE connect (yet).

It's not perfect, but it does things I haven't found anywhere else, makes your phone and laptop and pc.

It might help that I'm actually running KDE everywhere, of course.

I have a all my messengers running on my desktop as well, so I don't really have those problems. How's KDE Connect superior?

I'm seriously interested, since I read it's a killer feature but I cannot really imagine how it would help me.

Even just copying your clipboard is very useful.

Also (more so at home) large transfers are pretty fast, regularly send movies from and to my phone, at pretty much connection speed.

You can also mount your phone storage over the network, control your mouse with your phone and much more.
