syncthing-android/README.md

This a fork. There are no builds of it on GPlay nor F-Droid. Head to the "releases" section for builds. Please open an issue under this fork if you need help.

Important: Please don't file bugs at the upstream repository "syncthing-android" if you are using this fork.

# Major enhancements in this fork are:
- UI explains why syncthing is running or not running according to the run conditions set in preferences.
- A welcome wizard guiding you through initial setup on first launch or if mandatory prerequisites are missing like for example the storage permission.
- Run condition bugs are fixed.
- "Battery eater" problem is fixed.
- Android 8+ support is on it's way.
- Many bug fixes, enhancements and more frequent releases, see https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android/releases.
