KDEconnect integrates PCs, laptops, and mobile devices as though they 
are one.

It has a *lot* of features: a remote keyboard, notification 
broadcasting, media control, file system sharing, shared clipboards, etc.

Likely can set up a notification on a home computer which would also 
appear on a phone.

I disabled that on mine, but love when phone notifications appear on my 
PC, like who's calling before phone begins ringing, or a preview of an 
SMS with ability to reply, without taking phone from my pocket.


With a VPN, a phone can be connected to a home computer constantly.


Worth looking into.
