I'm glad to announce v0.4.5 release!

Syncspirit is continuous peer-to-peer realtime syncrhonization tool. It implements BEP protocol and provides seamless interoperability with existing syncthing nodes and clients.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/basiliscos/syncspirit/refs/heads/master/docs/fltk-overview.gif

You can download ready-to-use binaries for Linux x86_64 (AppImage), Windows 32 bit (WindowsXP is supported), Windows 64 bit and Mac OS X (Apple silicon).

Notable changes:

  • [core] monitor local filesystem changes in realtime and propagate updates across the cluster (inotify/ReadDirectoryChangesW/kqueue)
  • [core] allow arbitrary subfolder rescan
  • [core] do not accept files with non-valid utf8 filenames
  • [ci/cd] use https://sourcecraft.dev/ infrastructure for building
  • [core] bugfixes

Syncspirt source code uses GPLv3 license.

The github page mentions a few things this doesn't have which syncthing does, how about anything this has which syncthing does not have? Basically to answer why should anyone consider this instead of syncthing?

    Well, yep. For now the positive differences are

    • better speed transfers (up to x7 speed up on my setup).
    • different UI (including unique features like see in realtime tree-like structure of remote/local folders).
    • Windows XP support
    • it targeted for long-awaited "selective sync" mega-feature (asked for many years by syncthing users; but it is out of scope of syncthing business, so, it will unlikely be developed). I plan to do it after 1-2 releases (after implementing "ignoring local files" feature).
