Debian is sooo Dorothy.

I’m running the standard version of syncthing through termux at the moment. It lacks some of the power management options, but otherwise I’ve experienced no issues.

I second Aegis. You can drag icons and rename tokens. You can also sort by a to z, last used, usage count, etc. Aegis supports automatic backups and can export plaintext or encrypted backup files, after which you can transfer them to other devices however you transfer other files from your phone.

The backup files work with Aegis and with several independent desktop apps depending on your OS of choice. While I haven’t looked into it, that suggests that the encryption method isn’t something homebrew.

As far as #6 goes Aegis doesn’t try to save my passwords, encourage me to use passkeys, or suggest AI solutions. Magic bullshit is a vague qualifier, but I think Aegis is thaumaturgically inert. The ‘icons’ are just the first letter of the name of the token issuer by default.

The more-than-one-year lifetime is a problem with anything, including plenty of Google projects. There are over 60 contributors on github, so that’s something.

Something like 4 out of 10 important for me, but 10 out of 10 if I share a computer. I keep xfce4 on my computers because I like some of the utilities that come with it by default and I’m not the only person in my home who logs in. The default setup is close to what my people expect and it can be modified easily enough.

That being typed, I use a window manager after spending years adding custom shortcuts to an increasingly modified xfce setup to match my day-to-day use patterns. I got tired of dealing with stacking windows and wanted to try a setup that tiles the windows instead. It made sense at that time to try out a window manager that came closer to what I was looking for. I still use xfce4 if I want to run an x-11 type of environment for some reason, but I’m using sway for my personal day-to-day environment. I’m willing to use KDE or GNOME if that’s what is installed by default, but I’m working against muscle memory when I do so.

I’m not sure that there is a consensus at this time. After reading some conflicting information, I opted to install syncthing via the F-Droid version of Termux until things settle down. When I run it in a terminal the default browser opens the web interface and I’m good to go from there. Power management is not great, but it works and runs the current version of syncthing.
