Syncthing Offers Peer-to-Peer Sync for Self-Hosted Knowledge Systems
Syncthing synchronizes files across devices using a peer-to-peer model, avoiding cloud lock-in and central servers. It is open-source and community-driven, requiring careful setup to avoid treating sync as backup. The tool is ideal for knowledge workers managing markdown notes, PDFs, and project files across multiple devices.

Syncthing is a solid sync tool, but its value depends on users understanding it is not a backup solution—a common pitfall that could lead to data loss.
