Syncthing-Fork - A Syncthing Wrapper for Android

License: MPLv2 Translation status Build App

A wrapper of Syncthing for Android. Head to the "releases" section or F-Droid for builds. I'm currently short on time. Please seek help on the forum and/or social media apps first before consuming my time moderating issues on the tracker here. Thank you.

I am no longer publishing this on Google Play

See detailed info about release variants and which is recommended to fit your needs.

"nel0x" has announced to continue publishing on the play store. I welcome his help and the work I think he'll put into his mission. It's up to you, reading this, to decide if to trust and/or support him or go with the F-Droid release channel of this app instead. You don't know me and I don't know him... we are all volunteers in the spirit of open source.

Switching from the (now deprecated) official version

Switching is easier than you may think!

  • On Syncthing on the official app, go into the settings and create a backup.
  • Confirm you can see that backup in your files.
  • Now stop the official app entirely using the system app settings for Syncthing (force stop the app basically - we need to ensure it's not running).
  • Install Syncthing-Fork v1.29.7.1
  • Now start Syncthing-Fork.
  • In the Syncthing-Fork settings, restore the backup you created earlier.
  • Like magic, everything should be as it was in Syncthing official.
  • Confirm everything looks good.
  • Uninstall the official Syncthing app.
  • Delete the syncthing configuration backup from backups/syncthing.
  • Upgrade to the latest Syncthing-Fork version
