Mursync

Mursync is a lightweight synchronization tool designed to bridge the gap between your Android device and Linux desktop. It enables seamless state sharing and remote control features, focusing on productivity and convenience for GNOME and KDE Plasma users.

🚀 The Problem Mursync Solves

Managing notification states and desktop security across multiple devices can be tedious. Mursync addresses several common pain points:

• Split Focus: Manually enabling "Do Not Disturb" on both your phone and PC during deep work.
• Security Gaps: Forgetting to lock your desktop when stepping away, requiring you to walk back or leave it exposed.
• Camera Quality: The need for a quick way to share your mobile screen or use it as a secondary visual source on your desktop without proprietary, heavy software.
