Revision history [back]

Hi everyone!

Back in 2016 I started working on yet another "phone suite" type of app for remote accessing phone files, notes, browser tabs and similar. I never finished it due to the lack of time (and code became too convoluted so I planned to refactor it and never did). But despite never finishing it I've been using it since then on Jolla phone, Jolla C, Xperia X and now Xperia XA2 and it still works (nowadays I mostly use Sailfish connect for transferring files).

I found the code today and decided to publish it in case someone likes it or wants to use it.

Currently it supports only file browsing and uploading/downloading, notes viewing and viewing tabs from stock browser. It also has access menagement (any incoming connection needs to be approved in the app) and SSL support.

To use it, phone and the computer need to be in the same network (I planned to add the option to use it anywhere but never got to that).

Other than that, I also planned to add notes editing, message reading/writing, contacts, calendar, notifications and other thing. Currently I don't plan to work on it any more (but forks and pull requests are welcome :)).

Here's the code and the instructions for use: https://bitbucket.org/igor_b/sfos_remote/src/master/

Link to the app: https://bitbucket.org/igor_b/sfos_remote/downloads/sfos_remote-0.1-1.armv7hl.rpm
