Useful but buggy

Random UI and syncing bugs occur, thanks to vibe coding.

切后台就会断连是咋回事?这bug修不了没必要做同步吧

Thank you!!

Superb app, the only solution that made Syncthing work for me on iOS.

The best

App is legit

Great solution for cross-platform file sync

I need to sync a lot of commonly used files across multiple systems, and have used cloud storage for this purpose over many years. But after giving up on Dropbox and then struggling with maintaining my own Nextcloud instance, none of that is even necessary; Synctrain allows for synchronising directories across multiple systems without any need for external network access or monthly storage costs, and because it uses Syncthing behind the scenes, it’s fully cross-platform. Install a Syncthing client in Android, Linux, or others, and it all works seamlessly with Synctrain. 👍

My one complaint is that file ignore lists must be set up per-computer and per-sync-folder. Tedious and unintuitive. But that’s a very long-standing issue with Synchthing, _not_ Synctrain.

Many thanks to the developer, this is a great solution and so much easier than managing Synchthing in Linux, so at least _one_ ecosystem is super easy to set up with syncing (MacOS/iPadOS/iOS). 😅

I like the UI/UX

The overall experience is beautiful

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.

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.

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

♡⸜(ˆᗜˆ˵ )⸝♡

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.

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.

It works!

And it’s free!

Perfect

Thanks man syncs great to my syncthing on windows and Linux
