This means all the transactions between your phone and your PC are monitored and sucked up by Microsoft.

I was not aware that KDE Connect ran on Windows! This is great to hear for recommendations. Thanks for spreading awareness!

It works on all platforms, I work on mobile apps so I have quite a few Androids and iPhones, as well as a linux laptop and a Mac mini. It works seamlessly between all of those.

You don't even need to connect computer anywhere. You can connect, say, your iPad with your Android phone and share stuff from one to another.
