This is the comunity page for KDE Connect. It should contain useful and up to date resources for both users and developers.
What is KDE Connect?
KDE Connect is a project that aims to communicate all your devices. For example, with KDE Connect you can receive your phone notifications on your computer, or just use your phone as a remote control for your desktop. To achieve this, KDE Connect implements a secure communication protocol over the network, and allows any developer to create plugins on top of it. Currently there are KDE Connect clients on KDE, Android and Blackberry, and soon we will support iPhone as well.

Installation
You will most likely find KDE Connect as a package in your distribution's repos. If you use desktop environment other than KDE's Plasma, you might also want to install indicator-kdeconnect, that provides a system tray as a GUI for other desktops.
For Ubuntu users, the package in the repos might be outdated and it's recommended to use this PPA instead.
The app for Android can be found in both the Google Play Store and the free store F-Droid.
If you are a Firefox user, this cool extension might be of your interest.
Troubleshooting
If you are behind a firewall, make sure to open the port range 1714-1764 for both TCP and UDP.
