“The 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.”

    Yep, there’s one called syncthing-fork that’s been around quite a while I think, lemme go grab a link

    Edit: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.github.catfriend1.syncthingandroid/ :)

    I haven’t followed whether the project has made any comment on the upstream being discontinued, because right now I’m not using it. But if you reading this depend on syncthing, it might be worthwhile to go check, and maybe donate to help them keep it going :)

      Seems like it will be around for some time, based on the developers comments

      Hi, Syncthing-Fork is a personal project, originally meant to keep the Android app alive for my friends and family. I’ve shared this work from the very beginning and will do so when I hit the code for updates. I will primarily do compatibility with the Android phones “we” use here, so that’s currently the range from Android 10 to 14. Feature development is currently not on my roadmap. I myself use the app and depend on the availability of Syncthing on the Android platform for my own workflows. You’re welcome to use the releases on F-Droid or my GitHub if you like the fork. Kind regards, Catfriend1
