## What it is
RsyncOSX is a macOS GUI application for managing and executing rsync backup and synchronization tasks. The repository is archived and read-only; users on macOS Sonoma and later should use its successor, RsyncUI.

## Use cases
- back up files to a NAS with rsync from a Mac
- schedule and run rsync tasks without the command line
- synchronize folders between a Mac and a remote server
- manage multiple rsync backup profiles in a GUI
- restore files from an rsync backup

## When to choose
- you are on macOS Big Sur or later and want a free GUI for rsync
- you prefer installing via Homebrew cask
- you need a simple signed and notarized rsync frontend

## When to avoid
- you are on macOS Sonoma or later - use RsyncUI instead
- you need active maintenance, bug fixes, or support
- you want a cross-platform backup tool
- you need features beyond rsync such as cloud backups or encryption
