Sync Anything

Sync Anything is a native iPhone client for Syncthing — the popular open-source, peer-to-peer file synchronization project. It speaks the standard Syncthing protocol, so your iPhone syncs directly with any Mac, PC, Linux box or NAS 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: standard protocol, local discovery, relays and TLS device authentication. • No cloud. Files go straight from device to device, over your LAN or through relays. • No subscription. One-time purchase, yours forever. • No account. Nothing to sign up for. WHAT YOU CAN SYNC • Folders of documents, PDFs, notes and files of any kind — including Obsidian vaults. • Your photo library: automatically import new and edited photos and videos into a dedicated folder and send them to your NAS or computer. Optionally mirror deletions too. • Synced folders appear in the Files app, ready to open in your other apps. SIMPLE BY DESIGN • Pair 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. Afterwards, 1 regular folder and 1 device keep syncing for free, forever (photo library import requires the unlock). A single one-time purchase removes the limits — no subscription, ever. Family Sharing supported. Your files stay yours. On your devices. Nowhere else.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Paniers at none against Sync Anything's 1. Paniers also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Sync Anything's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
