PLEASE THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING HERE.
Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

In addition to that Josh said, we have a list of mobile friendly first party applications here: https://plasma-mobile.org/ It's not completely up to date and is missing some newer additions.
thanks your for sending this link :)
is there any plans for tok to return? the need for a proper telegram client is a lot , telegram desktop cannot be as good as a native client on mobile screen.
Josh says: "Unfortunately we lack a maintainer for Tok. If anybody would like to step up..."
and I don't know if it is a right place to ask, but the maui toolkit hig is missing :)
It's not really KDE though, it's kinda it's own thing...
A close cousin 😉
Maui confuses me. The Plasma Mobile homepage features Index, Pix and Vvave prominently. Additionally, those three and Nota are featured on apps.kde.org and the git repositories for all Maui applications are hosted on KDE's GitLab at https://invent.kde.org/maui. Index in particular is very important for KDE, since it's the only mobile-friendly file manager Plasma Mobile has. The Maui blog is also aggregated on Planet KDE. So clearly Maui is very closely related to KDE.
However, Maui Shell is hosted on Nitrux's GitHub, not KDE. Maui apps also don't use a lot of standard KDE infrastructure like bugs.kde.org. Plus, the elephant in the room, Maui apps have a totally different HIG from the rest of KDE. Mauikit apps are convergent, use CSD and force the standard Maui theme. They always use hamburger menus over menubars and rarely use more than one window. Apps focus on simple interfaces and simple feature sets. Some of these things, such as convergence, preference for hamburger menus and single window interfaces are also found in some Kirigami applications, but in Maui it's universal. It feels like a Qt version of GNOME much more than it feels KDE. Combine Maui Shell with Maui applications and you end up with a desktop environment which has nothing in common with KDE's flagship Plasma. So what's Maui? How is it related to KDE? I don't get it.
Yeah it'as weird. Afaik the apps are part of the KDE but the shell is not. No clue why, I'd remove Maui entirely from KDE tbh...
Index is, as you mentioned, really the only option on Plasma Mobile for managing your files, but Pix and Vvave can be replaced with Koko and Elise respectively. We should probably make work of that.
