I have had an excellent experience with Sushitrain/Synctrain on iOS [0]. It’s honestly the nicest Syncthing client I’ve used, although to be fair desktop-oriented clients have different design goals than mobile clientsm

same. Recommend

as long as the house doesn't catch fire, or as long i run outside with 1 of my syncthing devices (have several), local cloud is the best.

Can I ask questions about your setup? I don't intend to grill you on it or pick it apart - I would like to go down this route further, but find myself gradually moving away from it. I switched from Keepass to Bitwarden in 2020, knowing it was just a move towards convenience.

I suppose you realised you could protect against the scenario where you run outside without any devices, by just having a copy of the encrypted data sent to some cloud service, e.g. iCloud/OneDrive/Google Drive, but decided you couldn't trust any?

I know everyone's threat models are different, but I'm still curious to know your thoughts. There's no one you would trust with an encrypted copy?

Do you have any automated backup of your phone to a cloud service, or only local? If a cloud service, do you make sure it excludes your password manager? If no cloud backup, then do you make sure you have a copy of your data outside the house?

I have incomplete thoughts about the robustness of my password/OTP code backups. It is the 2-factor codes, which one day in the distant future, when I am overseas holding a new replacement for a lost phone, looking at the text "Enter the 6‑digit verification code", I will wish I'd thought about more carefully.
