Description
Automatic two-way file sync for Mac and Linux using SSH storage you control. Files move directly between your devices and storage; SSH private keys stay on-device. Conflicting edits keep both versions. Bring your own storage. US-only.

Could you build this?
No Building a reliable two-way file synchronization engine that operates safely over SSH requires deep systems-level programming and complex distributed state management to prevent data corruption.
What it would actually take: A production version requires a systems language like Rust or Go interfacing directly with OS filesystem monitoring APIs (FSEvents on macOS, inotify on Linux). It needs a robust bidirectional reconciliation algorithm (similar to Unison or Syncthing) using content hashing, block-level delta transfers (librsync), atomic file operations, and lock management over SSH/SFTP. Deep expertise in concurrency, network failure recovery, and filesystem race conditions is essential.
