I am using Ubuntu MATE and while trying to download kdeconnect, I found that it tries to pull about 150MB of plasma dependencies along with it. Why is it like that? I don't even think breeze and breeze-icon-theme should be a dependency. I am no expert but it just seems wrong to me. Is there no GTK-based alternative that does the same things as kdeconnect?
There is Mconnect
EDIT May, 2018
A new comer is GSConnect for gnome 3.24+. More informations on their GitHub.
