Flawless Syncthing integration

I’ve been using this app for several months and it has flawlessly been able to keep files in sync across my iPhone and multiple computers. I especially like that I can sync files from other apps.

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words 🙏

Not good

UI barely works. IP entry silently fails. Accidentally deleted paired device in one click. Endless connection problems with no feedback.

Fantastic App

This is a great app to actually be able to use Syncthing with iOS. The only issue is that I cannot create a folder to sync photos. The UI resets to the folder option after a couple of seconds.

Can’t connect

Flashes connected for a second, but can’t fix the connection

Hands down the best app doe Syncthing

Intuitive UI and fast. I’ve been using this for a couple of months and the connection to Syncthing on my Linux desktop is flawless. I use it to sync Obsidian and it’s a live saver. Thanks to the dev for adding this to the App Store.

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words! 🙏

Great for former Android users coming from Syncthing

No complaints (other than what’s limited by iOS compared to Android), does what it says and works great with lots of configurable settings. Easy to use UI, maintained, plus it’s open source, free, and doesn’t collect any information. Literally couldn’t ask for more!

Makes my iPad actually good for work

No more wasteful and slow cloud syncs, I just wave my iPad at my desktop in the morning when I leave my home, and then do it again at night.

It requires so little thought required once its up, it works every time, and its free. Incredible work.

Easy

Just a great way to sync my file’s securely

Thank you so much for making this! Not only does it not harvest data, it’s FREE?! Not only is it not a subscription, it’s FREAKING FREE. Syncing works on my devices :)))
The fact that this app exists makes me happy :)
Thank you, kind coder.

Thank you for the kind words! 🙏

Works as well as Apple allows

Works as advertised. My greevances with it are actually iOS limitations.

Works great, even lets me backup my images without needing annoying icloud subscription. Been using it for 6 months or so.

Not sure why I can't change basic settings like sync direction or ignore patterns. What's going on there?

Amazing App

Amazing!!!!

Fantastic App Works Perfectly

This app works perfectly with my syncthing setup over Tailscale which requires custom configuration. So great to be able to have all my files accessible on my phone seamlessly.

Response from developer

Great to hear! 🙏 Newer versions accept IPv6 addresses, so the custom config may not be necessary any longer 🙂

It works!

And it’s free!

Perfect

Thanks man syncs great to my syncthing on windows and Linux

Excellent on many levels. Thank you! ❤️

This is exactly what hardcore Syncthing and iOS fans needed. It does exactly what needs to be done and does it well. There has been so much talk about this over the years and now, finally, you can use Syncthing on iOS (and it’s free). Thank you so very much. ❤️

Splendid

Goated app by goated dev on iOS? Thank you for your service sir 🫡🫡

When I reported a bug the developer was already fixing it - love to see that!

More than expected.

This app somehow enhances how syncthing handles files. It lets you mark folders as “Selective Sync” so that syncthing THINKS everything is already synced, and then you can mark files to sync. This is CRUCIAL for mobile devices where storage is not abundant.
Thank you for this app :)

非常好的syncthing客户端

比安卓的好用几十倍,界面简洁易懂高效,哪些文件同步了一清二楚

Great App

Best app on the App Store for file syncing. Synctrain is super smooth, fast, and easy to use. I also really like the app logo — clean and modern design. Highly recommended!
