## What it is
Librevault is an open-source, peer-to-peer, decentralized file synchronization application written in C++. The client is currently being rewritten in Rust.

## Use cases
- sync files between devices without a central server
- private peer-to-peer file synchronization
- open-source alternative to Syncthing or Dropbox
- share folders between computers over P2P
- decentralized file backup across my machines

## When to choose
- you want privacy-focused, serverless file sync
- you prefer decentralized P2P over cloud storage
- you need an open-source sync tool you can audit

## When to avoid
- you need cloud backup or version history features
- you want actively developed software with frequent releases
- you need mobile client support today

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: file-system, p2p, networking
- domain: files, privacy, cross-platform
- platform: windows, cpp, rust
- tags: file-synchronization, decentralized, open-source, syncthing-alternative, linux, macos
