Efficient two-way sync between local and remote roots.

Two-way file sync, no remote agent needed

Today Synchi is finally public! It’s designed for syncing files between two locations (local or over SSH). It detects conflicts, and lets you decide what to do.

Why not rsync/Unison/Syncthing?

  • rsync has no memory between runs and is one-way
  • Unison needs to be installed on both sides
  • Syncthing requires always-on daemons

Synchi runs on demand, works over SSH, and only transfers what actually changed.

I use it daily for syncing a shared folder between my machines and an android phone. Works great in combination with Tailscale/WireGuard so that you can sync files remotely.

    Thanks for correcting me! Honestly, I haven’t used rclone bisync myself so thanks for sharing it. I have to give it a try now. rclone definitely looks a lot more compex feature-rich tool. Synchi I think would be alot simpler to setup and works great for my specific use case of syncing notes and files between my devices. Perhaps, targeted users is the distinction? Anyways I need to try it and see what good things I can learn from it.
