About Syncthing-Fork

Syncthing-Fork is an Android app that wraps Syncthing, the peer-to-peer file synchronization tool, so it can be used conveniently on a phone or tablet. The project was forked from the official syncthing-android repository, which is described as deprecated, and the former maintainers are acknowledged in the README. It is written in Java.

Builds are published in the releases section of the repository and on F-Droid. The project asks users to seek help on the forum and social media before opening tracker issues, and it publishes a wiki knowledge base, building and development notes and a privacy policy. A wiki article explains how to switch from the deprecated official app.

The README also lists community projects that extend or depend on the app. They include DecSync-based apps for syncing contacts, calendars, tasks and RSS without a server, and a tool that pauses Syncthing-Fork while the device sleeps. The project is licensed under MPL-2.0 and had its latest release listed as v2.1.5.0.
