    Maybe? But if you use termux you can install the official Linux package and avoid the fork drama.

      I migrated from the Syncthing Fork app to the official Syncthing package in Termux, and it was a breeze. Is there any reason for preferring the app, other than being afraid of CLI?

        How does it handle the battery life? Is it run all the time or do you just start it to sync when you need it?

          I just have it constantly running in the background at all times. Every time I restart my phone, I manually open Termux and run the command syncthing. I haven’t noticed any difference in battery life compared to when I used Syncthing Fork. It may possibly be better or worse, but not noticeably so.

      Presumably that can’t handle things that the app adds like run conditions for wifi/mobile data though? I realise some may not care about that as much.
