RsyncOSX and RsyncUI are GUI´s on the Apple macOS plattform for the command line tool rsync.
It is rsync which executes the synchronize task. The GUI´s are only for setting parameters and make it more easy to use rsync, which is a fantastic tool.
The UI of RsyncOSX and RsyncUI can for users who dont know rsync be difficult to understand. 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, a --dry-run, and verify the result before the real run.
If you have installed macOS Big Sur, RsyncOSX is the GUI for you. If you have installed macOS Monterey or macOS Ventura, you can use both GUI´s in parallell.
Please be aware it is an external task not controlled by RsyncOSX which executes the command line tool rsync. RsyncOSX is monitoring the task for progress and termination. The user can abort a tasks at any time. Please let the abort to finish and cleanup properly before starting a new task. It might take a few seconds. If not the apps might become unresponsive.
One of many advantages of utilizing rsync is that it can restart and continue the synchronize task from where it was aborted.
RsyncOSX is the only GUI which supports scheduling of task.
