    It’s been a weird situation.

    • Discontinuing syncthing-android - 2024

    • But then they list Syncthing-Fork in the docs, seemingly giving the fork their blessing

    • https://github.com/catfriend1/syncthing-android <-- the fork repo

      • doesn’t publish to Google Play
      • some other person named nel0x publishes the Google Play releases
      • Catfriend1 only publishes on F-Droid and GitHub

    So I guess your main options are:

    • F-Droid
    • Google Play

      For additional info about not releasing anymore on play store from Catfriend1 :

      I am no longer publishing this on Google Play

      See detailed info about release variants and which is recommended to fit your needs.

      “nel0x” has announced to continue publishing on the play store. I welcome his help and the work I think he’ll put into his mission. It’s up to you, reading this, to decide if to trust and/or support him or go with the F-Droid release channel of this app instead. You don’t know me and I don’t know him… we are all volunteers in the spirit of open source.

          The announcement literal purpose is to tell you the author does not know if its legit or not and that you should decide for yourself.
