Lightweight phone companion for sway, niri and other standalone Wayland compositors: notifications, clipboard, files, media remote and calls, without KDE libraries.

Changes since 0.1.0

  • Renamed to pocketlink (formerly tether). Existing config and pairings move over automatically on first start.
  • Clipboard images sync both ways: a grim screenshot lands on the phone ready to paste, and "Send clipboard" on the phone sends images too.
  • The clipboard keeps its contents when the daemon stops or restarts.
  • Direct share: each paired computer appears by name in Android's share sheet.
  • Panel widget: send a file to one phone (or "Send to all"), tidier settings layout, popout sized to its content.
  • App: computer cards update right after pairing instead of staying on "Connecting…".
  • App: explains how to allow notification access when Android greys it out for sideloaded apps.
  • Much smaller app: 3 MB instead of 61 MB, signed with the release key.
