Ah sure. They're quotes I found from 
https://kdeconnect.kde.org. I'm not familiar with the project 
myself.

I found the following from https://userbase.kde.org/KDEConnect

"What is KDE Connect?"

"KDE Connect is a project that enables all your devices to 
communicate with each other. Here's a few things KDE Connect can 
do:""

"- Receive your phone notifications on your desktop computer and 
reply to messages
- Control music playing on your desktop from your phone
- Use your phone as a remote control for your desktop
- Run predefined commands on your PC from connected devices. See 
the list of example commands for more details.
- Check your phone's battery level from the desktop
- Ring your phone to help find it
- Share files and links between devices
- Browse your phone from your desktop
- Control the desktop's volume using your phone
- Send SMS from your desktop"

Probably best to take a looks at https://kdeconnect.kde.org and 
https://userbase.kde.org/KDEConnect for details.
