Device Connect vs Plug Off Airplane
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Device Connect
Device Connect Yet another tool to connect Android phone with desktop similar to KDE Connect. Features: * Lightweight and fast * AES-256 encryption with password * Upload files from phone to desktop * Open files and web URLs from phone on desktop * Download files from pre-defined directories at desktop to phone * Show phone notification on desktop * Execute pre-defined commands on desktop * Periodically running sync tasks (directories, contacts, SMS, clipboard)
Plug Off Airplane
This is a very simple app that turns off Airplane Mode when the USB cable is plugged in. The idea is to make sure Airplane Mode is turned off at least once a day, in a safe location in terms of metadata: the home. Your telecom already knows your device belongs to its billing address. This makes it easier to use Airplane Mode to disable the cellular radio during the day, when it is not needed.
