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.
Haven’t tried iroh-ssh but since Synchi just uses standard SSH under the hood, it should work transparently with any ProxyCommand setup. Cool project, though!
