Syncthing Tray for Linux

Tray application for Syncthing v1 and v2

Overview

Syncthing Tray is a Linux application designed to work with Syncthing versions 1 and 2.

It adds a tray icon to your desktop, which shows the current status of Syncthing at a glance.

This makes it easier to keep track of your file synchronization without using the main web interface.

The tray menu provides detailed status information and allows you to quickly do common tasks like triggering a rescan of your files.

You can also get notifications for important events, so you stay informed while using the app.

Syncthing Tray connects with systemd and the system launcher to help manage Syncthing more smoothly.

This version of Syncthing Tray works independently of the desktop environment, so it runs on many different Linux setups.

However, it does not include special integrations for specific desktop environments like KDE or Plasmoid.

Those features might be available through other packages that are designed for certain Linux distributions.

Also, Syncthing Tray cannot be installed as a Flatpak app due to technical limits.

Syncthing Tray is focused on Linux users who want a simple and safe way to check and control Syncthing from their desktop toolbar.

It provides quick access to important status updates and controls while staying lightweight and easy to use.

It does not support other platforms besides Linux.

If you use Syncthing on Linux and want a handy tray icon for managing it, Syncthing Tray is a good choice.
