# 1 Syncthing alternative for Mac

Canonical page: https://macbase.app/alternatives/syncthing

Free, open-source tool that keeps folders in sync between your devices directly, with no cloud in between.

Syncthing is free and private but takes some setup, and it only syncs while both devices are on. Alternatives include cloud storage that keeps a copy online, paid peer-to-peer tools with a simpler Mac app, and backup apps that keep older versions.
