Once i open the kdeconnect app for the fisrt time it will remain open in background even if there is no pc to connect with and even after i close the app from my smartphone.


EXPECTED RESULT
A method to close the app definitely different from reboot my phone every time.

We do that on purpose, so we can connect to other devices when they appear in the network. If the app wasn't running, it wouldn't be possible. The battery impact should be unnoticeable.

thanks for your answer.
If I may give you an advise, it might be better for your brilliant and well developed idea to give the user the possibility to turn off the app.
For example I need it maybe once in a day and it will be useless to keep the app runnig all day for just ten minutes of usage.

Sorry if I made soma grammar or spelling mistakes
