    What is this SyncThing fork? Is it on F-Droid or something? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills because everyone praises SyncThing but it straight up does not work. I can get it to sync once, then the next day it will just not connect at all (Android 15 P9Pro/CachyOS)

        what “crazy pills” are you taking?

        1. Hear people praise SyncThing
        2. Open the Play Store by depressing the tip of my finger on its icon
        3. Search “SyncThing”
        4. Click on first result
        5. Press “Install”
        6. It doesn’t work

          Yea, that’s a lot of ambiguity.

          “Doesn’t work”. Well, yea, if you only install it on your phone - it’s a multi-device sync tool.

          For Windows I recommend SyncTrayzor, for Linux and Mac it’s Syncthing, for iOS it’s Möbius.

          I’ve installed it hundreds of times, the only time it hasn’t worked was between 2 Android devices of a specific version, and this is a documented thing.
