plptools is a set of libraries and utilities for enabling Unix (mainly Linux) systems to communicate with a Psion palmtop over a serial line. On Linux, a connection over IrDA using the IrCOMM feature is also possible.

The following (console-based) tools are part of the package: plpbackup, a command-line backup program. plpftp, a FTP-like frontend with some extensions. sisinstall, a SIS package installer. plpnfsd, a daemon providing the Psion's file services via an NFS-mounted directory. and plpprintd, a print server for printing via a PC.

plptools libraries also includes the KDE 2/3 program kio_plp, a KIOslave which adds a new protocol "psion:/" to the list of known protocols of KDE's generic I/O library. This enables all KDE applications to deal with files on a Psion. There is a plugin for konqueror's Properties dialog, a graphical frontend "KPsion" (similar to PsiWin), and a remote clipboard tool "Klipsi" (similar to CopyAnywhere).
