Two-way file sync, no remote agent needed

Today Synchi is finally public! It's designed for syncing files between two locations (local or over SSH). It detects conflicts, and lets you decide what to do.

Why not rsync/Unison/Syncthing?

  • rsync has no memory between runs and is one-way
  • Unison needs to be installed on both sides
  • Syncthing requires always-on daemons

Synchi runs on demand, works over SSH, and only transfers what actually changed.

I use it daily for syncing a shared folder between my machines and an android phone. Works great in combination with Tailscale/WireGuard so that you can sync files remotely.

    Yes! On android with Termux terminal.

    (note: If you sync between computer and phone you don't need to install it on your phone. One side only is enough.)

    Yes, I would like to use this as an alternative to syncthing. Arch Linux and Android. So how the phone should be connected? Do I need to open my phone's SSH port?
