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!

Cool, now I have to find something else to sync my Obsidian vault to my phone. It just worked! Fuck. =____=

As noted elsewhere Syncthing-Fork is still going strong, and a drop-in replacement, it's on F-Droid.

Do you know if I need to reconfigure my folders?

I guess if the transition is not smooth there is still time for them to adapt something until the very end...

On another hand, it seems like we all deposited all our eggs in one basket huh?

I really can't think of many Synching replacements... Even when I know there are a few.

Not sure, but it is still active with like 80 contributors. It's much the same as the original with a couple of extra features and more languages, so transition should be minimally painful, maybe even export - import level. I've been using it for years as I saw the original wasn't very active, but they're pretty much (essential) feature complete and stable, which is good. Apparently, google thinks that's bad.
