RustSync
Read full descriptionHide full description
RustSync is the ultimate companion app for Rust squads. It turns your team's Smart Alarms into instant squad-wide raid alerts — and turns your phone into a remote control for your entire base. NEVER MISS A RAID When a Smart Alarm fires, every member of your team gets a push notification within seconds. One teammate pairs Rust+, the whole squad stays protected — even members without Rust+ linked. • Loud, high-priority raid alerts that can bypass Do Not Disturb • Looping alarm sound until you dismiss it • Separate channels for raid alerts and normal notifications • Full alert history with time and map grid • Server wipe alerts so you're first back in • Mirror alerts to your Discord server, with optional role pings LIVE TEAM AWARENESS See your whole squad at a glance — app members and in-game teammates merged into one roster with online, offline and AFK status, plus death notifications. SERVER EVENT TRACKING RustSync watches the map and posts events straight into your in-game team chat. • Cargo Ship spawns and docking • Patrol Helicopter, with lootable-crate alerts • CH-47 Chinook and Locked Crates • Oil Rig crate activity • Travelling Vendor and restocks • Teammate online/offline/AFK and player deaths AUTOMATE YOUR BASE (RUSTSYNC PRO) Upgrade your team to RustSync Pro and unlock automation: • SMART SWITCH CONTROL — Toggle switches from the app or straight from team chat with custom commands like !lights on. Share switches with your whole squad. • BASE DEFENSE — Bind a switch (like your SAM sites) to your base location. RustSync watches teammate positions and automatically arms your defenses when everyone leaves, and disarms them when you return. Fully tunable arm/disarm radius. • HELI GEOFENCE — When a Patrol Heli enters your base's airspace, RustSync asks your team in chat before sounding the alarm, so planned heli fights don't wake the squad. • FLIP/FLOP TURRETS — Alternate two turret banks on a timer to keep power flowing where it matters. • RAID ESCALATION — Turn repeated alarm triggers into a full raid alert automatically. • IN-GAME CHAT TOOLS — !event for Cargo/Heli/Vendor spawn predictions, !brad for Bradley respawn timers, !mlrs for MLRS reload timers, !home to mark bases, !leader to take team leader, and more. RUSTSYNC PRO Pro is per-team: one plan covers your squad, with license seats you assign to members (4, 8, 12 or 16 seats, billed monthly). Auto-license mode fills spare seats automatically as members join. The free tier keeps full raid alerts, history, roster and event relay — forever. GETTING STARTED 1. Sign in 2. Create a team and share your invite code (or join with one) 3. Pair Rust+ in Settings 4. Pair your server from the in-game Rust+ menu 5. Name a Smart Alarm with your keyword (like "raid") — done Built by Rust players, for Rust players. Wipe day is stressful enough — let RustSync watch the base. RustSync is a third-party companion app powered by the official Rust+ API. Not affiliated with Facepunch Studios.
