Synctech is a privacy-preserving way to back-up and synchronize files across

<h1 id="backup">Effortless and safe backup</h1>
All files are backed up every few minutes and old copies are stored for
decades. Overwritten an important file by accident? No problem, restore it
with a couple of clicks. Synctech protects against ransomware: even if all
devices get compromised, backups will always work.

<h1 id="opensource">Open-source</h1>
Synctech is powered by <a
href="https://syncthing.net">syncthing</a>, an open-source file
synchronization tool, first released in 2013.
<p>Just like syncthing, Synctech is open-source, licensed under <a

<h1 id="privacy">Privacy</h1>
<p>You can <a
href="https://docs.syncthing.net/branch/untrusted/html/users/untrusted.html">protect
a folder with a password</a>.
When the folder is password-protected, the files can be read only on the
devices where password was entered. Nobody can access your data without a
password, including us.
<p>This is quite unique in the on-line synchronization and
backup space. While we very carefully protect your data, you are
additionally assured that it is impossible to read your files for anyone
else but you (or others, with whom you have shared the password).
</article>
<article class="pure-u-1 pure-u-md-1-2">
<h1 id="durability">Synchronize among other devices</h1>
Your files will be automatically synchronized across your
devices and Synctech. You can also share folders with other devices
that you do not own — colleagues, friends or family.
<p>If you are without an internet connection, but on the same network (e.g.
in an airplane, or on a phone hotspot), files will still be shared
directly. This lets you to collaborate (and move files between your own
devices) under any circumstances.

<label for="ac-05"><h2>What is Synctech?</h2></label>
<div>
Synctech is a privacy-preserving way to back-up and synchronize files
across your and your colleagues' (or friends, or family) devices. With
Synctech, your files are always-synchronized, regularly backed-up,
ensuring important files are always there when you need them.

<input type="checkbox" id="ac-07" checked="checked" />
<label for="ac-07"><h2>How does Synctech differ from other file-hosting providers?</h2></label>
<div>
<p>When setting up Synctech, you are entering your password on your trusted
devices. All your files are encrypted with that password. That way,
nobody can read your files without a password, even us (since you are not
entering the password on Synctech; it is deliberately impossible).
<p>At Synctech, we are protecting our customer data very carefully (stay
tuned for a blog post with technical details). Even with that, it is good
to have extra assurances that the files are accessible only to the
devices you trust.
<p>End-to-end protected files is very uncommon in today's backup or
synchronization services. It is now possible for us to offer a service
that does it securely.

<input type="checkbox" id="ac-10" checked="checked" />
<label for="ac-10"><h2>What is a backup?</h2></label>
<div>
<p>A backup is a copy of your data stored somewhere else. If the original
data is lost, it can be recovered from a backup. Backups are essential
for data that is worth saving.
<p>Here are a few common ways how data is lost, when having a backup
becomes essential:
<ul>
<li>Hard-drive failure.</li>
<li>Loss of the computer (e.g. theft or leaving at the wrong place).</li>
<li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ransomware">Ransomware</a>,
when data is locked out by an attacker unless a ransom is paid.</li>
<li>"Whoops, I permanently deleted the wrong folder".</li>
</ul>
<div></div>
</div>
</article>
<article>
<input type="checkbox" id="ac-20" checked="checked" />
<label for="ac-20"><h2>What is file synchronization?</h2></label>
<div>
It is an automatic process that ensures files in two or more computers
(phones) are the same.
<p>Synctech uses a free and open-source program <a
href="https://syncthing.net">syncthing</a> to synchronize files both
across your devices, and across your devices and Synctech itself. Once
files are synchronized between your devices and Synctech, it will
periodically create backups.

<input type="checkbox" id="ac-30" checked="checked" />
<label for="ac-30"><h2>How do I sign up?</h2></label>
<div>
Synctech is currently in Private Alpha. Which means it is open only for
the early adopters, who are not charged for the service.
As soon as we are ready for a wider audience, we will start sending
signup invitations on first-come-first-serve basis; enter your email
<a href="/">here</a> to add yourself to the queue.

<input type="checkbox" id="ac-35" checked="checked" />
<label for="ac-35"><h2>How do I use Synctech?</h2></label>
<div>
Once signed up for Synctech, you are presented with a guide which will
guide through:
<ul>
<li>Install Syncthing on your computer/phone/tablet.</li>
<li>Select folders which you want to share.</li>
<li>Optional: configure sharing: between yours or devices of your
colleagues/friends.</li>
</ul>
Once Synctech and your local Syncthing are ready, your files are safe,
backed-up, and always available. Folders can be recovered from backups
via the User's Control Panel in Synctech.

<input type="checkbox" id="ac-40" checked="checked" />
<label for="ac-40"><h2>Where is the source code?</h2></label>
<div>
Source code will be released as soon as Synctech leaves private alpha
(i.e. we start charging for the service). As a heads up, Synctech
consists of two parts, licensed differently:
<ul>
<li>User's control panel:
<a href="https://spdx.org/licenses/MIT.html">MIT license</a>.
</li>
<li>Everything else:
<a href="https://spdx.org/licenses/AGPL-3.0-only.html">AGPL-v3</a>.
</li>
</ul>
We are licensing user's control panel under a more permissive MIT
license, so it can be uplifted to the MIT-licensed
<a href="https://syncthing.net">syncthing</a> more easily.

<label for="ac-50"><h2>Who is behind Synctech? What are your values?</h2></label>
<div>
Synctech is run by Motiejus Jakštys, an engineer from Lithuania. I have a
software engineering dayjob, and am developing Synctech during my
personal time. Synctech is fully self-funded (bootstrapped).
<p>My main ethos are:
<ul>
<li>Respect the customer. Since the business is bootstrapped, I have
all the means to behave ethically.
</li>
<li>Attention to detail creates the best product.</li>
<li>Accessibility (and bandwidth) matter.</li>
</ul>
Stay tuned for a series of blog posts about creating the business, the
technical details, and the guiding principles.
