About KDE Connect
KDE Connect is a productivity app from the KDE Community, built to keep an Android handset in step with the KDE desktop workflow. The package installs as org.kde.kdeconnect_tp and arrives as one compact build with modest system demands. It is aimed at people who want their tools to work together rather than compete for attention.
The package behind the name KDE Connect installs under the exact identifier org.kde.kdeconnect_tp, which is how your device recognises and updates it. That string also ties the app to the KDE Community, the group that publishes it, so you can confirm you have the genuine build rather than a similarly named imitation. Keeping the identifier intact matters for updates, for uninstall records, and for any integration you set up around the app.
What the build requires to run The build requires Android 6.0 or newer. Handsets below that floor will not install it, while newer devices comfortably clear the bar, so the compatibility window is wide rather than restrictive. Because the demand is low, the app remains an option on older hardware you may still be carrying alongside a primary phone.
Space on your device The download weighs in at 6.5 MB, a small commitment even on devices where storage is tight. Installation adds little beyond that figure, leaving room for the files and media you actually care about. The light footprint also means a quick transfer and a short wait before the app is ready to use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the latest version shown on this listing?
The listing shows version 1.35.17, dated 2026-09-22. That is the build currently presented here, and it is the number to compare against if you already have KDE Connect installed and want to know whether your copy is up to date. Future releases will replace it with a different version string as the KDE Community publishes updates.
How much storage do I need for KDE Connect?
The file is 6.5 MB, so you need roughly that much free space for the download plus a small amount of additional room for installation. It is a light app by current standards, which makes it a straightforward addition even on a device that is already crowded with media, messages, and offline documents.
Which Android versions can run this app?
The build requires Android 6.0 or newer. Devices running that level or anything above it are supported, while phones below it will not install the package. If your device is more recent than the stated minimum, it already satisfies the requirement, so you can proceed without checking further details.
What package name does KDE Connect install as?
The package identifier is org.kde.kdeconnect_tp. This is the name your device records for the app and the string that identifies it during updates or removal. If you are troubleshooting, searching for a build, or verifying that an installed app is the genuine KDE Connect, this identifier is what you should match against.
Who develops the app and what category is it in?
KDE Connect is published by the KDE Community, the group responsible for the wider KDE project, and it is filed in the productivity category. That placement reflects its role as a working tool rather than a game or media app, and it is the grouping you will find it under in this listing.
