About Unison for Android

Note: DOES NOT CURRENTLY WORK ON ANDROID OREO (8.x). We are looking into it.

Unison is a multi-platform (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Unix, etc.) utility maintained by Benjamin Pierce to synchronize files across different hosts and devices. Synchronized files can be modified independently on separate hosts, then brought up to date whenever Unison is run. File synchronization is fast and efficient, utilizing a transfer protocol similar to rsync.

Unison for Android delivers Unison binaries compiled for Android, along with a graphical user interface for running those binaries in server mode.

Once the Unison server has been started on your Android device, you can connect with a Unison client on your desktop, laptop, or other device to synchronize pictures, videos, or any other file content. No SSH access is necessary - clients connect directly via socket.

Because Unison clients connect to your device over a direct socket connection instead of over SSH, the server should only be run when your Android device is connected to a trusted network, like a home WiFi. Running the server on other networks could expose files on your device to untrusted parties.

Unison is free and released under the GNU Public License. Unison for non-Android platforms, as well as full source code, can be downloaded at:

Works great. However, on my rooted phone on Nougat, the app would crash when ran with root privileges in order to write to the external sdcard. How I got it to work: although the designer states that the app will not run through ssh, I was able to connect to Unison on the phone via ssh from a Linux Unison client, just by selecting the right options -- specifically, by using the servercmd parameter. Great app --- highly recommended.

Fantastic. I had been using a Unison server from a different developer until upgrading to Nougat, when I discovered that it was no longer being supported. I'm now using Unison for Android from Nerdy Software and am really happy with it. I Upgraded to Pro and am using the 2.40.128 version very happily. It is simple, does what I expect it to do, well, and nothing more.

by C####:

The free version is crippled by only being able to use one version of the Unison binary on the remote version. This makes it unusable.

J70%
by J####:

Absolutely unusable unless you pay

R70%
by R####:

Only runs an old version of unison which is not compatible with newer versions

F70%
by F####:

Stale lock files prevent connection to the server.
