About this app

Connected is a high-speed, offline, cross-platform ecosystem that bridges the gap between your devices. Transfer files, sync clipboards, control media, and communicate across Android, iOS, Linux, Mac, and Windows — all without relying on cloud services.

High-Speed File Transfer
Powered by QUIC — the same protocol behind HTTP/3 — Connected delivers lower latency, faster connection setup, and better congestion control than traditional TCP-based transfer tools. Move large files in seconds, not minutes.

Offline Transfer via WiFi Aware
No router? No problem. On supported Android devices, Connected uses WiFi Aware (NAN) to establish direct device-to-device links. Transfer files on a train, in a park, in an air-gapped office — anywhere without internet.

Clipboard Synchronization
Copy text on your phone, paste on your desktop. Connected keeps your clipboards in sync across all paired devices in real time.

Remote Media Control
Control music and video playback on any connected device from your phone. Skip tracks, pause, play — all from the notification shade.

Phone Link
Make and answer calls, send and receive SMS messages, and browse contacts directly from your desktop. Stay connected without picking up your phone.

Automatic Device Discovery
Zero configuration required. Connected automatically finds nearby devices using mDNS on local networks and WiFi Aware for offline scenarios. Just open the app and your devices appear.

End-to-End Encrypted
Every transfer and communication is encrypted end-to-end. Your data never leaves your local link. No servers, no clouds, no tracking.

All data stays on your local network. Connected never uploads your files or personal data.
Connected bridges Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows
