Title says it all. I'll go first:

I don't really have any on my computer (all I use that for is Vim, Firefox, and Git), but on my phone: Orbot (basically Tor as a VPN on your phone).

KDE Connect

I can share files, links and clipboard items between my phone and my computer. Use my phone as remote control while watching stuff. I see phone notifications on my computer and don't miss calls when my phone is in silent mode while I'm at my PC. It has made my life so much smoother.

Out of curiosity can KDE Connect act as a Find My alternative?

Sadly not as AFAIK you need to be connected to the same network as the device (at least on iOS)

I wonder if both devices were on the same tailacale network if this may work.
