KDE Connect

Allows connecting to other devices with KDE connect and sharing files, controlling media players, sending text messages, controlling the mouse and keyboard (if the device has that), and much more.

I install it by default on every device I have and even setup a computer as a media player in my living room that I control with my phone. Just connect an old laptop or desktop with Wake On Land or with autosleep and autologin and you won't need a firestick or whatever.

Kde connect is genuinely amazing.

My favorite feature is media auto pausing when I get a call and resuming when it's done. I listen to music through my workday and it's nice to not have to scramble to turn it down or pause when a call comes in.

KDE Connect gives you what Apple tries to sell you on, while also being free and working with whatever desktop OS you want.

KDE Connect is probably one of my favorite pieces of software, ever.

KDE Connect is real slick, but brutal on battery life for me
