How it works

A direct path from one trusted device to another.

Yavisynker coordinates the introduction, then gets out of the file path. Your desktops compare verified manifests and move the missing file pieces directly.

From setup to sync

Three stages, one clear trust boundary

The account service knows which devices belong together. The devices know the files.

01

Register the devices you trust

Install Yavisynker, sign in to the same account, name each computer, and choose the local YaviSynker folder on every device.

02

Devices establish a direct path

The control service exchanges short-lived, signed connection setup messages. The desktops authenticate one another before opening an encrypted WebRTC data channel.

03

Only the needed pieces move

Files are split into content-addressed blocks. After a small edit, the receiving device usually requests only blocks it does not already hold.

Control service

What the server handles

  • Account authentication and registered devices
  • Short-lived presence and signed connection setup
  • Plans, trial access, referrals, and installer access
  • Bounded security and administrative records

Direct device channel

What stays between devices

  • Current filenames and file manifests
  • Requests for the blocks a peer is missing
  • Verified file content blocks
  • Small wake-up and progress messages

Truthful edge cases

Predictable behavior when conditions are not perfect

Direct sync should make waiting and conflicts visible, not hide them behind an imaginary cloud copy.

When another device is offline

Sync waits safely. Local files stay in place and the engine tries again when another device becomes reachable.

When both copies changed

Yavisynker keeps a deterministic main copy and preserves the other edit as a conflict copy instead of silently discarding it.

When identity changes unexpectedly

A previously pinned device identity is not silently replaced. The connection is blocked so the change can be investigated.

Sync is not backup.

Changes and deletions can propagate. Keep a separate, tested backup for files you cannot replace.
