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

Quartet by Affirmi

Features

Ask once. Four models answer at the same time, and Quartet gives you the one answer they agree on, with the places they split underneath. Type a question. Four seats light up as GPT, Gemini, Claude and Qwen answer in parallel. When they finish, Quartet writes the quorum: the answer they support together, and a short list of where they disagree, so you can see it rather than guess it. Every thread is remembered. Open it later, ask a follow up, and the panel picks up where it left off. Turn MEMORY off on the ACCOUNT screen and nothing is kept between threads. A new account starts with a hundred credits at no charge. A question costs a few. No keys to paste, no setup, one username. Made for people who already paste the same question into several chatbots and compare by hand. SUBSCRIPTION AND CREDITS Quartet Pro is an auto-renewable subscription at $9.99 per month with 600 credits each month, billed to your Apple ID. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. Credit packs are one-time purchases: 500 credits for $4.99 and 1500 credits for $12.99.
