A wrapper of [Syncthing](https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing) for Android. Head to the "releases" section or F-Droid for builds. I'm currently short on time. Please seek help on the forum and/or social media apps first before consuming my time moderating issues on the tracker here. Thank you.

## I am no longer publishing this on Google Play

See [detailed info](https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android/blob/main/wiki/Switch-between-releases_Verify-APK-is-genuine.md) about release variants and which is recommended to fit your needs.

"nel0x" has announced to continue publishing on the play store. I welcome his help and the work I think he'll put into his mission. It's up to you, reading this, to decide if to trust and/or support him or go with the F-Droid release channel of this app instead. You don't know me and I don't know him... we are all volunteers in the spirit of open source.

## Switching from the (now deprecated) official version

Switching is easier than you may think!

- On Syncthing on the official app, go into the settings and create a backup.
- Confirm you can see that backup in your files.
- Now stop the official app entirely using the system app settings for Syncthing (force stop the app basically - we need to ensure it's not running).
- Install Syncthing-Fork [v1.29.7.1](https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android/releases/tag/v1.29.7.1)
- Now start Syncthing-Fork.
- In the Syncthing-Fork settings, restore the backup you created earlier.
- Like magic, everything should be as it was in Syncthing official.
- Confirm everything looks good.
- Uninstall the official Syncthing app.
- Delete the syncthing configuration backup from `backups/syncthing`.
- Upgrade to the [latest Syncthing-Fork version](https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android/releases/latest)
