Open source way to connect your devices together. I just got it and it seems pretty dope. Anyone used this, or something similar before?

It's amazing and it keeps getting better with each update. I have it set up with a number of commands to remotely from my phone lock/unlock my PC, turn Bluetooth on or off, toggle night mode, start and kill certain apps, etc. It's very handy to share links and files from my phone straight to my PC or vice versa.

By lock/unlock do you mean using biometric login?

Biometric on my phone to unlock it (or PIN), but with KDE connect it's just running loginctl lock-session/loginctl unlock-session to lock/unlock the PC.
