Syncthing Android app discontinued (forum.syncthing.net)

Announcement by the creator: https://forum.syncthing.net/t/discontinuing-syncthing-android/23002

Unfortunately I don’t have good news on the state of the android app: I am retiring it. The last release on Github and F-Droid will happen with the December 2024 Syncthing version.

Reason is a combination of Google making Play publishing something between hard and impossible and no active maintenance. The app saw no significant development for a long time and without Play releases I do no longer see enough benefit and/or have enough motivation to keep up the ongoing maintenance an app requires even without doing much, if any, changes.

Thanks a lot to everyone who ever contributed to this app!

Is webDAV not good enough for that? I use keepass via webDAV feature of the nextcloud (I know some think it is bloated) but I guess there are other lightweight webDAV solutions..

I've used both. NC android app doesn't sync and one needs to host the entire platform. When using generic webDAV one still needs a dedicated sync solution.

I self host NC and still prefer SyncThing for keeping my KeePass database updated and fresh across devices.

I see, my app that I use for keepass has integrated webDAV sync where I can point it to a keepass file on the webDAV server (strongbox iOS) I just thought android keepass apps should have such feature as well.

The iOS app of NC is slow as well, and not good enough for using to sync keepass files, but the Linux app seems to be good enough.

And yea, just learned, that sync thing apparently works without a server but all P2P? That is 100% killer feature 😃👌🏻

IIRC Keepass2Android does have that feature.

Fair point. Does it cache the database for when one's of the grid?

Yup!
