Conecto

Integrate your Android-phone with your PC - a GTK Client for KDEConnect.

Current State Of The Project

⚠️ Unfortunately, this project is currently put on hold. It is still possible to install the C++ rewrite in its current state on elementary OS (tested on elementary OS 6.0). For more information, see #30 (comment).

The goal of this project was originally to update and maintain EOSConnect by gyan000. However, that soon turned out to be difficult because the version of mconnect it was based on was too outdated, causing some issues and communication problems. Beacuse of this, and with the aim to provide a new user interface for the application (see #3), I decided to rewrite the application in C++.

The rewrite is currently able to manage device connections and display the battery level. There has been some work to support notifications and the mousepad-feature. However, because the new library is still WIP there are still many bugs, unimplemented features and missing tests.
