Syncthing/Syncthing-Fork. Simply the best cross-system file synchronization app. Peer-to-peer, no cloud storage.

Scrcpy (Screen Copy). App that mirrors your Android phone to Windows. When I switched away from a Samsung phone I lost the ability to run an app from my phone on my PC desktop. This restores that.

I'm also using Syncthing to sync up my notes between my laptop and phone. It's been great! Less Google doc use.
What do you use to view your notes on the phone
I'm using Obsidian. The minimal size makes syncing faster, and I enjoy the mobile interface.
I tried to set this up last week and found it was buggy and unreliable as hell on android.
Maybe I did something wrong, but same server side and 2 different android phones, I open the app after some time has passed and the light thing is green but server shows disconnected. The slide out menu has "restart" greyed out. I force close and reopen the app, then it starts working again.
Does not seem reliable.
Are you using syncthing-fork on android? If I remember, the primary app discontinued android support, so someone else took it over.
I use it routinely for thousands of files. It's easier than digging out a USB cable.
Yes I am
