Everyone I recommended it to uses it almost daily.&lt;p&gt;It makes me wonder about the state of FOSS software: there are plenty of genuinely good FOSS apps that can, in theory, be a part of a FOSS &amp;quot;ecosystem.&amp;quot; But not many people actually know about them or use them.&lt;p&gt;While I am still curious to know why this is, it seems like &amp;quot;advertisement&amp;quot; is still the greater predictor of software usage than anything else (including functionality and ease-of-use). Which is sad (especially because &lt;i&gt;FOSS apps get better the more people use them&lt;/i&gt;).</text></comment>

Locating Your Misplaced Phone […] This feature is a great alternative if you don’t have an Apple Watch that you can use to ping your iPhone.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;That doesn&amp;#x27;t actually work for iPhones, since (per Apple restrictions) KDE Connect has to be running in the foreground to do anything useful.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s still my go-to file transfer app, although it would be nice if it were available from the iOS share button.</text></comment>
