SynoSync is a file synchronization tool crafted for iPhone and iPad, supporting Synology NAS, WebDAV, and SMB services. It is specifically designed to solve the long-standing issue where traditional sync software cannot flexibly integrate into the iOS "Files" app workflow. Simply log into your server, select a shared directory, and use the system file picker to specify a local target—allowing you to sync files to any authorized directory accessible by the Files app. The app supports three sync modes: Server-to-Local, Local-to-Server, and Two-Way synchronization, while offering flexible conflict resolution strategies (Keep Newer, Keep Local, Keep Remote, or Keep Both). With support for extended foreground syncing and automatic background syncing, it is the perfect tool for long-term maintenance of note libraries, document repositories, research data, and project files.
HomePlot

Keeping track of a homestead, a van build, an RV, or a tiny home usually means a mix of notebooks, phone photos, and spreadsheets that don't talk to each other. HomePlot puts it all in one place, and it works with no signal, because a lot of life off-grid or on the road happens with no signal. Set up your household once: Homestead, Van or Skoolie, RV or Motorhome, or Tiny Home, and HomePlot adapts to fit. RECORDS FOR EVERYTHING YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR Keep a record for each animal, plant, vehicle, and piece of property, with photos, notes, and a timeline of what happened and when. OVER 40 SPECIALIZED LOGS Milking, firewood, rainwater, propane, generator, fuel, compost, greenhouse, mushroom, sap, forage, canning, seed swap, well level, water testing, water filter changes, predator sightings, trail cam, nesting box, fence inspection, cover crop, aquaponics, chemical and spray applications (with re-entry and pre-harvest interval safety built in), and a build journal for anything you're constructing. ON THE ROAD Boondocking spots, overnight parking, dump stations, tire pressure, low bridges, road hazards, cell signal, internet speed, and meetups, logged as you go. MONEY Track costs and income by category so the year actually adds up, whether that's feed and fuel or fencing and fabrication supplies. FAMILY A shared family board for tasks, chores, notes, and voice notes. Child profiles get a simplified screen of their own. SAFETY A wellness check-in works like a dead man's switch: miss a check-in and the people you've nominated are notified. It's built for anyone who lives alone or travels alone. Emergency numbers for 24 countries are stored offline, with your coordinates ready to read out or send. ALSO INCLUDED A recipe book and a detector test log for smoke and CO alarms. HomePlot works offline. Everything you enter with no signal is saved on your device and syncs when you're back in range. HomePlot is free to use. Paid tiers add photo albums, an offline map of your places with satellite imagery, weather and frost alerts, push notifications, breeding and herd health records, pasture rotation, equipment and loan tracking, profit and loss reporting, invoicing, and more, in plans sized to how big your operation is. All paid tiers are auto-renewing subscriptions billed monthly, every 6 months, or yearly.
