Soduto

Is it still active?
Hi, your project is a great implementation of KDE-Connect protocol, i've been using it daily since summer.
But it doesn't seem to be maintained. Is there any chance to get some new features?
I'm not a swift dev, so can't help you with implementing them.
Thanks!
It seems to be the only open-source alternative to apple's "Continuity" when you need to bridge Mac and Android, so I really hope it's still alive.
By the way, is it compatible with Mojave?

I use Soduto with Mojave, no issues with it
Oh, thank you for snap response! Hope this is the real reason for the long period since the last update – there's just no need for it. And would be great to keep using Soduto even in the future on macOS 10.15.

I've been using KDE-connect with linux for years. Last summer I got a macOS machine and found Soduto. It would be great to keep this project alive.
I don't promise you anything now, but if I'd find enough motivation to learn Swift (I'm not into macOS or iOS development, but Android), I'll fork this project and add some features, implemented in official server (presentation clicker at least, notifications and remote at most).
P.S. KDE already have their Qt desktop client ported and working with Windows (Good!) and Mac (Awful!). There's chance they'll sort out bugs and problems later, but I won't hope for it happening soon.
@nevack It is not necessary to make a fork - I would gladly accept contributions to Soduto repository. Also feel free to ask any questions regarding Soduto development and its codebse ;)

You're right, I'd also like to see the continuing development of the current project. This is an amazing open-sourced rival to proprietary solutions, but until more people discover Soduto, the fork can only hurt its popularity growth.
For the same reason, it would be nice to add a reference about Soduto to the KDE Connect wiki page. (don't know how to do it myself)

Yeah, alright. I thought you're inactive.

Maybe it would be easier make PR to KDE/kdeconnect-kde to mention Soduto in README.md. It's also a top search result for kde connect

Also coming to Windows 10: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-insider/at-home/whats-new-apps-19h1#your-phone

It has a custom implementation and doesn't use KDE-Connect protocol

No idea if KDE would allow it, but perhaps it could be mentioned in https://community.kde.org/KDEConnect#MacOS
(I discovered KDE connect and Soduto from looking at a bunch of solutions on alternativeto.net today - thanks for making this! Suprised it all just worked!)
Soduto is great. Please keep maintaining!
By the way, can Soduto support notification mirroring?
Soduto works fine with my new M1 MacBook Pro (Big Sur 11.2.2), No major issues yet.

Good to hear! I couldn't decide whether to build KDE Connect for macOS or just use Soduto but it seems like I found my solution. Also, I don't want to promise but I am planning to contribute to this project after this semester ends.
@DeveloperEN JFYI, I managed to build project on recent macOS after upgrading few native libs. If you have any progress or ideas, please, share with us!
Meanwhile, KDE Connect has native macOS nightly builds. Download page reference KDE Binary Factory (Jenkins) page.
Works fine for me so far.

file sharing is SO much slower than soduto however,like sharing 10 pics takes minutes on kde vs 5seconds on soduto...
Hi! I'm new to Soduto and mac os in general. Trying to get some sort of continuity, I came across Soduto and installed it. It works very nice, much better than KDE connect app on mac OS side, but looks like I can't get an SMS notification for some reason. Call notify is ok. Could someone point me to the right directions, or is it an issue so far?

file sharing is SO much slower than soduto however,like sharing 10 pics takes minutes on kde vs 5seconds on soduto... Are you managed to get stable connection with KDE connect? I'm suffering from random disconnects on mac os and the only way to get it back is to restart the app.
And would be great to keep using Soduto

have you learned swift? ahaha

nope I got fed up with kde connect and just use soduto ,much better ... although not maintained it would seem
I'm wondering if someone made a fork cuz I'd like to have an apple silicon native build ngl :)
have you learned swift? ahaha nope :( Just a bit of Python.

no worries buddy ;)
have you found anything besides soduto and kde connect by any chance ?

What do you expect from native apple silicon support? I doubt it would be any faster as Soduto is not a CPU intensive app.

How about SMS notifications? Do you receive them via Soduto?

No. Just some silly cloud-based apps. Pushbullet is the best for receiving notifications so far.

less batttery usage i suppose

Does it use a lot of power to you?

actualy i checked several times and it doesnt,its fine.still having it updated to AS would still be apprecited

it's not arm native tho, it runs under rosetta
