Description
- **Cross-Platform**: Seamlessly transfer files, sync clipboards, make and answer calls, and control media between Android, Linux, Mac and Windows devices. - **Offline Functionality**: You can also use it without an internet connection. Uses Wi-Fi Direct and Local Network. - **High Speed**: Powered by the QUIC protocol. - **Zero Config**: Auto-discovery via mDNS and BLE. - **Secure**: End-to-end encryption for all transfers. - **Modern UI**: Beautiful, responsive interfaces using Jetpack Compose (Android) and Tailwind CSS (Desktop).
## Why Connected?
In a world of walled gardens, connecting devices shouldn't be a hassle.
- **Apple AirDrop and Apple Ecosystem in General**: Works like magic, but only if you stay strictly within the Evil Apple ecosystem. - **KDE Connect**: It's the only alternative, it doesn't even work properly and also you can't use it without a shared Wi-Fi network.
**Connected** cuts through the fragmentation. It brings the "it just works" magical experience to the open ecosystem.
### The Connected Advantage
1. **Protocol Superiority**: We use **QUIC** (via `quinn`), the same protocol powering HTTP/3. This ensures lower latency, better congestion control, and faster connection setup compared to the TCP connections used by legacy transfer tools. 2. **True Offline Freedom**: While many apps require a shared Router/Access Point, **Connected** is designed to leverage **Wi-Fi Direct**. This allows devices to negotiate their own high-speed link anywhere—on a train, in a park, or in an air-gapped office. 3. **Rust-Powered Reliability**: The core logic is written in Rust, guaranteeing memory safety, high performance, and a minimal resource footprint. The desktop client is native and blazingly fast, avoiding the bloat of Electron. 4. **Privacy by Design**: Your data never leaves your local link. End-to-end encryption is mandatory, ensuring your personal files remain personal.
