If you have a windows device, you can connect you r Phone via  Your Phone Companion - Link to Windows , and it's a similar story if you have a Chromebook and an android device.  But what if you have a Mac and an android device? This is where you can use KDE connect. It's a two-part install: 1) Install the  desktop app  (Still in early release for Mac). 2) Install the  companion app on your Android device.

Instead, I wanted to record some of the remote commands you can run from your Phone on your Mac; the default commands currently in KDE Connect do not work as they are the standard Linux commands.  So here is a set of commands that work in KDE connect on the Mac....
