KDE Connect Now Available on iOS

I don't have much use for KDE Connect currently but I've used it in the past. It can be quite handy. It was very useful for replying to text messages when my phone wasn't around, for example.

I do like to see KDE software propagating outside of the KDE world (KHTML is a great example of that).

I don’t see this function in the App Store app, I’d love to use my phone remotely, is this possible without a mac device?

There is also KDE Connect for Android, if that's your question: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kde.kdecon...

Unfortunately this isn't allowed on iOS - Dell Mobile Connect is the only app I know of which has this functionality, and they access Messages via a Bluetooth connection between the computer and the iPhone.

I implemented a daemon for reading notifications (including SMS) on Linux https://github.com/pzmarzly/ancs4linux

Adding support for sending SMS shouldn't be hard, but I don't have time recently to work on that. https://github.com/pzmarzly/ancs4linux/issues/10

Allowing apps to read your texts is a can of worms apple isn’t willing to open.
