With Synctrain you can securely synchronize files with other devices that have Syncthing installed. You can choose to synchronize full folders, or choose specific files. With Synctrain you can also stream audio and video files from other devices. When you synchronize files, all changes, including deleting files, also happen on your other devices. Do not use Synctrain for back-up purposes, and always keep a back-up of your data. You decide with which devices you share which files. This also means the app makers cannot help you access or recover any lost files. This app is powered by Syncthing. This app is however not associated with or endorsed by Syncthing nor its developers. Please do not expect support from the Syncthing developers. Instead, contact the maker of this app if you have questions.

About

MicroTrack

Features
Read full description

MicroTrack helps you turn focused work into a record you can trust. Start a work block, track time, log what moved forward, and rate how much energy it took. Over time, you build a clearer picture of where your hours go and which work drains or drives you. Break larger goals into smaller subprojects with time targets, so complex work feels manageable and measurable. Review your recent sessions in Insights, spot patterns in time and energy, and export your history when you want a deeper look. When you need stronger accountability, lock a personal reward behind a timer and finish the block before you cash it in. It’s a simple way to make hard sessions stick. With Live Activities, a clean timer, session logging, project breakdowns, and energy tracking, MicroTrack sits between a basic focus timer and a lightweight work system — built for builders, creators, and anyone who wants a more honest trail of their work.
