alfred-workflow-kdeconnect

An Alfred Workflow to control KDEConnect (heavily WIP), providing the following basic functionality:

• sending files to a mobile device
• letting phone ring (find my device)

Commands

• kring lets your device ring
• kshare {filename} shares the specified file with the device. Also useful for Universal Actions.

Install

• Make sure KDEConnect is installed.
• Run make (brew install make)
• Open the generated alfred-workflow-kdeconnect.alfredworkflow file
• Set the kdeconnect Workflow Environment Variable to the KDEConnect CLI path. It is bundled with KDEConnect, /Applications/kdeconnect-indicator.app/Contents/MacOS/kdeconnect-cli by default.

Connecting

• If you're already connected to a device, the workflow will use the first connected device.
• If you're not connected to a device, the workflow will try to connect with the first available device on your network.

Issues

I'm not sure if KDEConnect is a very reliable utility, at least on M1 Macs. And unfortunately, this workflow can only be as reliable as the CLI allows it to be.

• I faced daemon issues on an M1 Mac, so I've written a tiny script here to actually start the KDE daemon (it doesn't seem to start reliably with the GUI) and secondly to prevent random daemon outages.
• Sometimes the KDEConnect CLI seems to fail silently, or the command gets lost in transit.

Disclaimer

This is heavily untested, WIP and might be poorly implemented.
