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

## Features
- **Shared clipboard**: copy and paste between your phone and your computer (or any other device).
- **Notification sync**: Read and reply to your [Android](../../systems/Android.md) notifications from the desktop.
- **Share files and URLs** instantly from one device to another including some filesystem integration.
- **Multimedia remote control**: Use your phone as a remote for [Linux](../../linux/Linux.md) media players.
- **Virtual touchpad**: Use your phone screen as your computer's touchpad and keyboard.
- **Presentation remote**: Advance your presentation slides straight from your phone.
- **Run Commands**: Run [shell](../cli/Shell.md) commands on your computer from your phone.
- **Access SMS**: Read, send and reply to SMS and MMS from your computer.

All this is done completely wirelessly, utilising TLS encryption. KDE Connect also integrates nicely with [KDE Plasma](../desktops/KDE%20Plasma.md) Desktop.
