GOnnect for Linux

GOnnect is a utility app designed for Linux users who want to make SIP calls.

It works well with popular Linux desktop environments like KDE and GNOME and is available as a Flatpak package.

With GOnnect, you can make and manage VoIP calls, including features like call transfer, call enquiries, and three-way conference calls.

It also supports starting video conferences easily, just like making a phone call.

This software supports multiple configurable identities, meaning you can set up different profiles for outgoing calls.

It works with many hardware headsets such as Yealink and Jabra and supports busylight devices to show call status.

GOnnect can pause other audio sources during calls and offers custom audio device profiles or uses your system settings.

The app integrates into your system tray, helping you quickly access favorite or frequent calls.

It also includes support for GNOME Search Provider and KDE’s KRunner search plugin, making it easy to find contacts or launch actions.

GOnnect offers privacy-friendly features such as disabling the screensaver when you are on a call.

You can use global keyboard shortcuts if your desktop environment allows them.

The app registers itself to handle telephone (tel:) and SIP (sip:) links and supports both light and dark modes for your interface.

GOnnect is limited to Linux systems using Flatpak, which might restrict users on other platforms.

Conference calls are limited to three participants, so it may not suit bigger meetings.

It is focused on desktop Linux, with no current support for mobile or other operating systems.

Overall, GOnnect provides a safe and reliable way to handle SIP-based calls on Linux desktops.
