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)
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?
I’m not sure. I would assume that clipboard / file sharing etc would still work, but I have never tried something like that.
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.
