VaultSync for Obsidian Description
Your Obsidian vault, on your own server, synced to iPhone and iPad — peer-to-peer with Syncthing, no managed note cloud in the middle.

VaultSync is the missing iOS bridge for people who already trust Syncthing with their notes. If your vault lives on your Mac, Linux box, NAS, or homeserver, VaultSync lets your iPhone and iPad join that setup — without moving anything into iCloud, Dropbox, or someone else's note-sync service. It syncs straight into Obsidian's iOS sandbox, so you open Obsidian and your vault is just there.

WHY VAULTSYNC
- Direct peer-to-peer sync between your devices and your own server.
- Your Markdown never passes through our servers. We can't read, index, store, or proxy your notes — because they never reach us.
- No account. No sign-up. No analytics SDK. No tracking.

SET UP IN MINUTES
- Pair with your desktop or server by scanning a Syncthing QR code (Device ID).
- Pick the vaults you want on this device.
- Open Obsidian — your notes are already in place.

BUILT FOR REAL VAULTS
- Markdown conflict resolver with side-by-side diffs, so you decide which version wins.
- Sync activity timeline that shows what moved and when.
- A "Sync Issues" panel with clear, actionable diagnostics instead of cryptic errors.
- Quiet conflict notifications that update in place instead of spamming a new banner on every sync.

HONEST ABOUT iOS SYNC
iOS does not let third-party apps run a sync daemon in the background, and we won't pretend otherwise:
- Server to iPhone/iPad: near-realtime incoming sync when the optional Cloud Relay delivers a silent push.
- iPhone/iPad to server: most reliable when you open VaultSync. Background refresh can help opportunistically, but iOS decides when it runs.

CLOUD RELAY (OPTIONAL)
A small monthly subscription that sends a silent wake-up push the moment your server has changes, so incoming sync feels instant without opening the app. The relay only ever sees a wake-up signal — your Device ID, an APNs token, and a transaction ID. It never sees your note content, Markdown, filenames, folder names, vault structure, or any metadata. It needs a free Docker sidecar ("vaultsync-notify") on your server. VaultSync works fully without Cloud Relay — the relay only makes incoming sync faster.

SUPPORT VAULTSYNC (OPTIONAL)
Two one-time contributions — Small and Big — for people who want to support the project. They are a tip jar. They unlock nothing, and the app stays completely functional without them.

REQUIREMENTS
- iPhone or iPad on iOS/iPadOS 18 or later.
- Syncthing already running on a Mac, Linux machine, NAS, or homeserver.
- Obsidian installed on your device (for the vault to open into).

PRIVACY & OPEN SOURCE
VaultSync is peer-to-peer by design. There is no managed note cloud, no telemetry, and nothing to sign into. The app is open source under the MPL-2.0 license — read the code, build it yourself, or contribute.

VaultSync is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Obsidian or Syncthing. "Obsidian" and "Syncthing" are trademarks of their respective owners.
VaultSync for Obsidian 1.4.0 Update
2026-05-31
Version 1.4.0 is all about a calmer, more reliable sync.

QUIETER CONFLICT NOTIFICATIONS
No more banner spam. The conflict notification now updates a single alert in place instead of re-lighting your screen on every background sync. It only alerts when the conflict count actually grows, refreshes quietly when it shrinks, and clears itself the moment the last conflict is resolved.

MUTE THE CONFLICT BANNER ON ITS OWN
A new Settings → Notifications toggle silences the conflict banner without disabling iOS notifications for the whole app. Muting it no longer makes Cloud Relay look broken.

CLOUD RELAY HEALTH, REPORTED HONESTLY
Turning off notifications no longer falsely flags Cloud Relay as broken. Silent push wake-ups don't need alert permission, so relay health is now judged by what actually matters — your subscription, APNs token, provisioning, and a recent wake-up — with alert permission shown as a separate, informational row.

MORE RELIABLE BACKGROUND SYNC
- A single-flight guard stops two overlapping wake-ups from tearing down each other's sync.
- The push time budget is now measured from the start of the run, so a slow setup can't overrun iOS's window.
- A folder stuck in an error state no longer burns the whole background deadline or raises a misleading timeout.

CORRECT PRICING EVERYWHERE
Cloud Relay's price now comes straight from the App Store for your region — no more mixed currencies on the subscribe screen.

SUPPORT VAULTSYNC
A new optional "Support VaultSync" section adds two one-time contributions. They unlock nothing; the app stays fully functional without them.

FULL SPANISH LOCALIZATION
VaultSync is now fully localized in Spanish, alongside English, German, and Simplified Chinese — and the conflict-notification text is localized too.

1.3.2 2026-05-24
- Improved logic when skipping files from sync.
- Smoother display when reconnecting after the app has been idle.
1.3.1 2026-05-18
• Fixed: tapping "Resolve Conflicts" on the home screen no longer also opens the browser.
• Cleaner home screen — the page title is gone and devices show just their name. Tap a device to see its full Syncthing ID.
• Cleaner Cloud Relay settings — devices that are already provisioned are no longer listed.
• Sync Issue titles are now properly translated in German and Simplified Chinese.
1.3.0 2026-05-11
VaultSync 1.3.0 makes syncing from your iPhone to your desktop feel instant.

- Pull-to-refresh on the vault list — swipe down to force an immediate sync, just like Mail or Files
- VaultSync now scans your vaults automatically when you reopen the app, so edits made in Obsidian show up on your desktop without the close-and-reopen workaround
- Faster fallback when iOS misses a file-change event: the safety-net rescan now runs every minute instead of every hour
1.1.0 2026-04-24
In this update, we’ve made getting started with VaultSync even easier and tidied up the settings. Here is what's new for you:

A Quicker Start: Getting started is now a breeze with a short, two-screen introduction. The actual setup has been moved right to your home screen—exactly where you already manage your devices, vaults, and syncing.

Clearer Status Overview: The old setup guide in your Settings is now a handy live status view. You can instantly see what's working perfectly, what still needs your attention, and exactly how to fix it.

Actionable Shared Vaults: If someone shares a vault with you, it's now much clearer when you still need to accept it. Syncing will only show as "ready" once you have at least one fully active vault.

Tidier Settings: We’ve removed some of the technical clutter to keep your settings menu clean and simple. Device discovery now just works smoothly in the background by default.

New Languages: The updated setup and status screens are now fully translated and available in English, German, and Simplified Chinese.

iOS 18 Support: VaultSync is now fully optimized for iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 (and newer).
1.0.2 2026-04-14
What's New

▸ Faster and more reliable background sync when changes happen on your server
▸ Improved recovery if iOS wakes VaultSync in the background
▸ Cleaner diagnostics screen
▸ Simple device log in Settings

Important: Changes from your server should arrive on iPhone more reliably in the background. Changes made directly on iPhone are still most reliable when you open VaultSync.
