RsyncOSX
RsyncOSX is a free, open-source GUI wrapper around the command-line rsync tool for macOS, designed to simplify file synchronization and backup workflows without requiring terminal commands. It lets users configure one-way or two-way sync tasks between local folders and remote servers over SSH, schedule automated backups, and monitor transfer history and logs. The app is widely used by power users, system administrators, and backup-conscious Mac owners who want a visual interface for rsync's capabilities while maintaining full control over which files sync and when.

1 suggestionRsyncOSX has been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon. Version 6.5.2 and later include native Apple Silicon support, so if you are still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta, you can simply update to the latest version to get the native build. The easiest way to update is through Homebrew — run brew upgrade rsyncosxor uninstall and reinstall with brew install --cask rsyncosxto ensure you get the Universal Binary. Alternatively, download the latest version directly from the project's GitHub releases page and verify the SHA-256 hash as recommended by the developers. After updating, your existing sync tasks, schedules and configuration will carry over without any manual migration needed.
