> 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.
