Sometime i want to send small messages between devices, such as a url, a note, a id, a token, a piece of code, a picture Especially send between phone and laptop.
Some chatting app have self messages such as telegram saved messages, slack (you), Microsoft team…
However i don’t want a bloated chat app that would took few hundred mb on phone, or required to install an app on my pc (linux which make many app broken). I don’t want work chat app too, because self messages can be seen and scanned by employer (yes, a security add on chatbot on slack warm me because i send something like password to myself on slack)
Something like Opera Flow would fit perfectly, but i don’t want opera browser.
Linux pc + android phone - use Syncthing
Linux pc + iPhone - use KDE connect (or GSConnect for GNOME)
Kdeconnect/gsconnect is also on Android
Yes, they are on android but I prefer syncthing over KDEconnect/GConnect, mostly due to the issues I had when trying to use it over vpn.
FYI syncthing for android is getting discontinued, at least for now. :(
I’ve used Syncthing-Fork for years.
Plus, it’s not like it needs much dev anyway, it works, and you can host your own resolver.
That’s true, but there are some decent forks.
Don’t need a Linux PC to use KDE Connect, it works perfectly fine under windows too
Can you still use KDE connect if my main WM is Sway?
