Manage Syncthing folders and devices from a terminal instead of a web browser.
Check sync status and alerts on a headless server or over SSH where a browser isn't convenient.
Try out the interface with fake data before connecting it to a real Syncthing instance.

Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
Requires a running Syncthing instance to connect to, a fake data mode is available for trying it without one.
syncthingtui is a text based interface for Syncthing, a program that keeps files synced between computers without going through a cloud service. Instead of opening Syncthing's web dashboard in a browser, this tool lets you manage the same settings and information from inside a terminal window, and the README describes it as nearly matching what the web interface can do. The README states plainly that this app was built through an AI assisted, conversational coding process rather than written by hand in the traditional sense, based on a file called CHAT.txt included in the project. Once installed, you run the program and it connects to your local Syncthing installation automatically by reading its configuration file, or you can point it at a specific address and API key yourself. The interface is organized into tabs covering your synced folders, information about the current device, remote devices you sync with, alerts, and available actions, with forms for editing folder and device settings that save changes back through Syncthing's own API. There is also a mode for rendering a single named screen as a static image, useful for testing or documentation, and a fake data mode for trying out the interface without a real Syncthing instance running. The project includes a test suite that covers both the interface logic and real interactions with a temporary Syncthing instance, along with a few smaller scripts for checking things against a real, already running instance without changing anything. It is written in Go, has 17 stars, and the README does not mention a license.
A terminal based interface for managing Syncthing, letting you control folder syncing and devices without opening a web browser.
Mainly Go. The stack also includes Go, Syncthing.
The README does not state a license, so reuse permissions are unclear without asking the author.
Setup difficulty is rated easy, with roughly 5min to a first successful run.
Mainly developer.
