About this app

KDE Connect provides a set of features to integrate your workflow across devices:

- Transfer files between your devices. - Access files on your phone from your computer, without wires. - Shared clipboard: copy and paste between your devices. - Get notifications for incoming calls and messages on your computer. - Virtual touchpad: Use your phone screen as your computer's touchpad. - Notifications sync: Access your phone notifications from your computer and reply to messages. - Multimedia remote control: Use your phone as a remote for Linux media players. - WiFi connection: no USB wire or bluetooth needed. - End-to-end TLS encryption: your information is safe.

Please note you will need to install KDE Connect on your computer for this app to work, and keep the desktop version up-to-date with the Android version for the latest features to work.

Sensitive permissions information: * Accessibility permission: Required to receive input from another device to control your Android phone, if you use the Remote Input feature. * Background location permission: Required to know to which WiFi network you are connected to, if you use the Trusted Networks feature.

KDE Connect never sends any information to KDE nor to any third party. KDE Connect sends data from one device to the other directly using the local network, never through the internet, and using end to end encryption.

This app is part of an open source project and it exists thanks to all the people who contributed to it. Visit the website to grab the source code.

3

Enable "Allow from this source" for your browser or file manager

Launch the app from your home screen

Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.

How to install this safely

How to verify the file you downloaded

Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.

What the signing certificate proves

Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be org.kde.kdeconnect_tp is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.

How to roll back to an earlier version

If the current release misbehaves, 1.35.8 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall KDE Connect first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.

Why we list sources instead of hosting everything

The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of KDE Connect, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.

Every source we list for org.kde.kdeconnect_tp is legality-reviewed. Pirated or cracked builds are never offered.
