RsyncUI is a free, open-source SwiftUI-based macOS GUI for the rsync command-line tool, handling task organization and parameter configuration. It is signed and notarized, requires macOS Sonoma or later, and runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

Use cases

• synchronize files with rsync without using the command line
• manage and schedule rsync backup tasks on macOS
• configure rsync parameters through a graphical interface
• set up SSH-based remote synchronization to remote servers
• restore files from previous rsync synchronizations
• organize rsync tasks into profiles

When to choose

• you want a native macOS GUI on top of rsync instead of memorizing CLI flags
• you need scheduled or profile-based rsync tasks with SSH key support
• you prefer a local-only, privacy-respecting app with no server component

When to avoid

• you are on Linux or Windows rather than macOS Sonoma or later
• you need a cross-platform sync solution or cloud-native backup tool
• you only need simple one-off file copies where the rsync CLI is sufficient
