Wish there was an option or button to turn off KDE connect when I'm outside my house

There's a "Trusted Networks" setting to limit autodiscovery to certain networks. I don't think it'll completely disable the software, but it should prevent your phone from being visible to others.

I saw that option. It does help to an extend but not exactly what I wished for.

I hear you. It does make the software easier to use, but I also wish there was more control over when it was actually running. I usually just shut down the background process entirely until I want it running again, but it's a manual process.

I've been wondering if something like Tasker would help but I've never looked into it.

I use superfreeze and made a shortcut to kill the app with minimal clicks. Without root access there isnt much Automate can do to kill apps. Don't know about Tasker though.

It was not possible to make it work from Ubuntu to iOS .

Assumed this would work almost out of the box, but so far no luck with devices I've tried with 😪
