Sync.md brings real Git to your iPhone. Clone any GitHub repository, pull the latest changes, edit your notes and markdown files, then commit and push — all without a terminal.
Real Git, Not a Workaround
Sync.md uses libgit2 to perform actual Git operations on your device. Your repos have a real .git directory. Commit history, branches, diffs — it's all there. No proprietary sync layer, no lock-in.
Works With Your Favorite Editor
Cloned repositories appear directly in the iOS Files app. Open them in Obsidian, iA Writer, 1Writer, Taio, or any app that supports the Files provider. Edit however you like, then come back to Sync.md to commit and push.
GitHub Native
Sign in with GitHub OAuth or paste a Personal Access Token. Browse your repositories and clone with one tap. Author name, email, and branch are configured per-repo.
Full Git Workflow
• Clone any GitHub repository to your iPhone
• Pull to fetch the latest remote changes
• Stage all changes, write a commit message, and push
• See uncommitted change counts at a glance
• View branch, commit SHA, and last sync time per repo
Obsidian Integration
Sync.md supports x-callback-url so other apps can trigger Git operations programmatically. The Obsidian Git community plugin can call syncmd://x-callback-url/sync to pull and push without leaving Obsidian.
Multiple Repositories
Manage as many repos as you need. Each one gets its own branch, author, and storage location. Clone your blog, your Zettelkasten, your dotfiles — all in one app.
Your Data Stays Yours
No accounts to create, no cloud service to trust. Your files live on your device and sync directly with GitHub. Sync.md never sees your content.
Would it be possible to sync to selfhosted git remotes behind tailnet?
Developer Response
Hey syscheckin, give v2.2 a shot. Self hosted git should be working.
• Add support for non-GitHub Git remotes, including self-hosted HTTPS and SSH repositories
• Add a no-GitHub setup path for local and alternative Git workflows
• Improve repository authentication handling for public, token, and SSH-key remotes
