I've just found Syncthing and I'm blown away by this app. So, I'm interested if any of my other apps can be replaced by foss equivalents that can be synced.

My first suggestion is Obsidian - which, at first I had problems syncing with paid solutions, but syncs flawlessly with Syncthing.

Does anyone have any more suggestions? Ideally looking to sync between android devices, but any info is much appreciated.

Update : many thanks for all the suggestions - some good ones. Hopefully we can keep adding the ones we find that can be synced from local folders.

I opened this pretty recently

I'm using KeePass for notes and passwords; any local player like VLC is good for music or videos; any gallery app is good for your photos.

Yeah, I'd actually made a comment on that thread (duh). I guess before I realised how good / useable Syncthing was.
