#### Your phone’s alerts, texts and calls, kept and searchable

PugLink links your Android phone to this computer through the free KDE Connect
app, and keeps everything the phone sends. Every alert, text, call and file stays
in a searchable history, even after it is gone from the phone.

* Alerts, Messages and Calls, with one search across all of them
* Reply to texts and to messaging alerts, and use the phone app’s own alert buttons
* Contact names, group chats and pictures in texts
* Ring your phone, and send it files or your clipboard
* A Quick Settings tile, results in Activities search, and a dock badge for new texts
* Guided setup, with a QR code for the phone app and a checklist of phone permissions

Install KDE Connect on the phone from Google Play or F-Droid. On an iPhone, KDE
Connect only shares files and the clipboard. PugLink replaces GSConnect.
