KDE Connect

KDE Connect is an application for the KDE Plasma desktop environment with various functions for integrating a phone and the Linux computer. It allows you to send files to the other device, control its media playback, send remote control inputs, display its notifications and much more.

KDE Connect is also available for the GNOME desktop environment using the GSConnect extension.

Installation

KDE Plasma

NixOS

programs.kdeconnect.enable = true;

Home Manager

home-manager.users.username.services.kdeconnect.enable = true;

networking.firewall = rec {
  allowedTCPPortRanges = [ { from = 1714; to = 1764; } ];
  allowedUDPPortRanges = allowedTCPPortRanges;
};

GNOME (with GSConnect)

NixOS

programs.kdeconnect = {
  enable = true;
  package = pkgs.gnomeExtensions.gsconnect;
};

Then it is necessary to enable "GSConnect" extension in the Gnome Extensions application (or via dconf).

Home Manager

home-manager.users.username.programs.gnome-shell = {
  enable = true;
  extensions = [{ package = pkgs.gnomeExtensions.gsconnect; }];
};

networking.firewall = rec {
  allowedTCPPortRanges = [ { from = 1714; to = 1764; } ];
  allowedUDPPortRanges = allowedTCPPortRanges;
};

This will auto-enable the extension via dconf.
