New in version 0.2.0
Adds multiple named remotes. Each folder selects its server, and an
unreachable host no longer blocks the others. Transfers resume safely,
SSH host keys are pinned, and 0.1.x settings retain every safe entry.
Mirror deletions run only after transfer and are reported. Scheduling
survives reboots without duplicate jobs. Includes rsync 3.5.0 security
fixes and 16 KB page-size support.
Pushes configured phone folders (DCIM, WhatsApp media, call recordings, and
so on) to one or more home SSH hosts using rsync over SSH. One-way push
only, on an unmetered network by default, periodic or on demand.
rsync and the SSH transport are built from source and shipped inside the APK.
The app needs all-files access to read arbitrary backup folders such as OEM
call-recording directories.
Features:
* Multiple named remotes; each folder picks its destination host.
* Incremental transfers; large videos resume from a private partial directory.
* Per-folder deletion policy: additive backup or mirror.
* Runs on an unmetered network, periodically or on demand.
* Ed25519 client-key auth with strict, pinned host-key verification.
Versions
Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.

New in version 0.1.3
Fixes: a stalled or unreachable server no longer hangs a backup
indefinitely, and backup state is written atomically so an interrupted
write cannot corrupt your settings. Scheduled backups now survive reboots
on their own. Note: the minimum schedule interval is now 15 minutes.

New in version 0.1.2
Fixes: syncing to a server with an rsync older than 3.2.3 (stock macOS
included) no longer fails with "unrecognized option '--mkpath'". Flat remote
paths are still created automatically; a nested remote path with missing
parent directories now needs a one-time mkdir -p on the server. The native
build scripts now also work on macOS hosts.
