About

Sync Anything

Features
Read full description

Sync Anything is a native iOS client for Syncthing — the popular open-source, peer-to-peer file synchronization project. It is fully compatible with the Syncthing protocol, so your iPhone and iPad sync directly with any other device already running Syncthing. No cloud sits in the middle. Your data never touches our servers — because there are no servers. Files move directly between your own devices, encrypted in transit. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • Fully Syncthing-compatible. Connects to any Syncthing device using the standard protocol (BEP, local discovery, relays, TLS device authentication). • No cloud. Files go straight from device to device. • No subscription. One-time purchase, yours forever. • No account. Nothing to sign up for. WHAT YOU CAN SYNC • Folders of documents, PDFs, and files of any kind. • Your photo library — back up photos and videos automatically. • Synced folders appear in the Files app, ready to open in your other apps. SIMPLE BY DESIGN • Add a device by scanning a QR code. • Choose send-only, receive-only, or two-way sync per folder. • See real-time status: connection, progress, and what's out of sync. • Sensible defaults — no fiddly configuration. HONEST ABOUT iOS iOS doesn't allow true always-on background apps. Sync runs while the app is open, plus opportunistic background syncs when the system allows. We tell you this up front instead of pretending otherwise. PRICING Start with a 7-day free trial of everything. After that, a single one-time purchase unlocks the app for good — no subscription, ever. Your files stay yours. On your devices. Nowhere else.
