Literally set up a home Nas and syncthing last week.
What's a good alternative for Android?
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

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.
There is an android native GUI for syncthing in fdroid that looks like its still maintained: https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android?tab=readme-ov-file
I've been using Syncthing-Fork (on F-Droid) for the extra features it has. I wonder if that developer will be able to continue.
For the F-droid enabled users, it seems there's a Syncthing app in the Termux repos:
~ $ apt show syncthing
Package: syncthing
Version: 1.28.0
Maintainer: @termux
Installed-Size: 26.4 MB
Homepage: https://syncthing.net/
Download-Size: 7857 kB
APT-Sources: https://packages.termux.dev/apt/termux-main stable/main aarch64 Packages
Description: Decentralized file synchronization
I can only hope the company makes the iOS client (Möbius) decides they need syncthing to continue and decide to get behind it.
As I recall, they use Syncthing as a solution in their business, this would be a big-break for them.

Any news about the fork of it? https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android-fdroid
