I'm considering switching from macOS to Linux on my Mac, but I'm really dependent on Apple Continuity for copying and pasting between my iPhone and MacBook. Is there a way to maintain similar continuity features if I switch to Linux?

I've used KDE Connect and found that I can copy something on my computer and immediately paste it on my phone. However, the opposite direction requires me to open KDE Connect and send the clipboard over. There might be a setting I missed, though!
Good to know! Does KDE Connect rely on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth? I usually have my PC and phone on different networks.
On Android, there's something called KDE Connect that offers features like shared clipboard, remote input, file sharing, and even notification syncing. I’d suggest checking the app store for a similar solution for iPhone, as it could be useful!
It is available! But do you know if it's as seamless as just copying and pasting?
You need to give it permissions from the accessibility menu, which it asks for the first time you open the app. You can access it directly through the 'plugin settings' section. Just an FYI, I'm not sure how well this will work on an iPhone since Apple typically restricts apps from reading the clipboard.
