I guess you could say it runs of everything unless you use one of the two most popular operating systems in the world: Android and iOS.



Not sure what you're on about, its right in F-Droid [1]. What is or isn't on iOS is in Apple's control. I recommend to take a look at Nextcloud. You can use it to control your own files, calendar, etc without some third party using it for data mining.

There's syncthing for Android: https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing-android


Only recently started playing with SyncThing (about the time SpiderOak's warrant canary expired).

To my mind, the Android app leaves a bit to be desired. Usually you don't want your phone to hold local copies of everything in the shared folder(s) as it is usually space constrained. You want to be able to view and pull files down as desired (possibly with the option to flag individual files to always be cached locally).


Whoops, the website could make that more clear. "Works on Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris and OpenBSD."


It runs very well on android with termux.

Like most open source software: don't bother with the "apps" just install it in termux the same way you would on any other computer.
