Hi there 👋
I am the developer of RsyncOSX and RsyncUI which both are GUI´s on the Apple macOS plattform for the command line tool rsync. It is rsync which does the actual synchronize task, not the GUI´s. The GUI´s are only for setting parameters and make it easy to use rsync, which is a fantastic tool.
The UI of RsyncOSX and RsyncUI can for users who dont know rsync, be difficult or complex to understand. The main objective is to ease the use of rsync, not teach macOS users how to use it. That is beyond the scope. Setting wrong parameters to rsync can result in deleted data. RsyncOSX nor RsyncUI will not stop you for doing so. That is why it is very important to execute a simulated run (--dry-run) and inspect what happens before a real run.
If you have installed macOS Big Sur, RsyncOSX is the GUI for you. If you have installed macOS Monterey, you can use both GUI´s in parallell.
RsyncOSX is the only GUI which supports scheduling of task.
RsyncOSX is released for macOS Big Sur and later due to requirements in some features of Combine. Latest build is 21 February 2022.
