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!

With today's BitWarden drama, I planned to use KeePass with SyncThing for like an hour before seeing this :(((

I use bitwarden. Are they not good anymore? Data Breach?

I too use Bitwarden, self-hosted. What's up with Bitwarden? I haven't heard anything (other than some of the Keypass master race sometimes throwing dirt at it).

Desktop Bitwarden app is not open-source anymore.

Thanks. I guess it's about time for me to start looking at being part of the master race crowd then. I appreciate the link.

They couldn't take the heat in Github 🤣

Thanks for that. Looks like I'll be keeping an eye out for replacements just in case.

Bitwarden’s last update made the iOS categorically worse and impacted the Pin unlock functionality on Linus desktop. Guess I’m migrating to Proton’s offering along with the rest of their suite. Hope they don’t go down the enshittification rabbit hole anytime soon.

Hope they don’t go down the enshittification rabbit hole anytime soon.

Apparently they're transitioning to a non-profit business model

That sucks. But I think this is specifically about their open source licensing.
