## What it is
SyncTrayzor is a Windows system tray utility that hosts and wraps Syncthing, making it behave like a native Windows application with a built-in browser, tray notifications, and conflict resolution tools. The original project is unmaintained and users are directed to the actively developed SyncTrayzor v2 fork.

## Use cases
- run syncthing as a native windows app from the system tray
- get notifications when folders finish syncing or conflicts occur
- monitor file sync progress with a drop-box style window
- pause syncthing transfers on metered networks
- resolve syncthing file conflicts with a gui tool
- start syncthing automatically on windows login without setting up a service

## When to choose
- you want a tray-based windows wrapper for syncthing and are comfortable with an unmaintained codebase
- you need conflict alerts and a conflict resolution tool on windows

## When to avoid
- you want active maintenance and support - use the SyncTrayzor v2 fork instead
- you are not on windows
- you prefer managing syncthing via its web UI or command line
