Sometime i want to send small messages between devices, such as a url, a note, a id, a token, a piece of code, a picture Especially send between phone and laptop.

Some chatting app have self messages such as telegram saved messages, slack (you), Microsoft team…

However i don’t want a bloated chat app that would took few hundred mb on phone, or required to install an app on my pc (linux which make many app broken). I don’t want work chat app too, because self messages can be seen and scanned by employer (yes, a security add on chatbot on slack warm me because i send something like password to myself on slack)

Something like Opera Flow would fit perfectly, but i don’t want opera browser.

    Linux pc + android phone - use Syncthing

    Linux pc + iPhone - use KDE connect (or GSConnect for GNOME)

      Don’t need a Linux PC to use KDE Connect, it works perfectly fine under windows too

          I’m not sure. I would assume that clipboard / file sharing etc would still work, but I have never tried something like that.

        Yes, they are on android but I prefer syncthing over KDEconnect/GConnect, mostly due to the issues I had when trying to use it over vpn.
