Syncthing
Decentralized, peer-to-peer file synchronization with zero cloud dependency.
About Syncthing
Syncthing is a continuous file synchronization program that syncs files between two or more computers in real time, without relying on any central server. It uses peer-to-peer protocols with TLS encryption, meaning your data never passes through a third party.
Syncthing is private, secure, and fully decentralized. Each device is identified by a unique cryptographic certificate, and all communication is encrypted. It supports versioning, conflict resolution, selective sync, and LAN discovery. A web UI provides full control over folders, devices, and sync policies.
