Flexible Sync Options

Most apps give you one sync option: their servers, their way. Everdo gives you three, so you can choose what fits your setup and your privacy requirements.

Full sync documentation is available at Everdo Sync Help.

Local Network Sync — free and self-contained

One of your desktop computers acts as a sync server. Other devices — desktop or mobile — connect to it over the local network and exchange changes automatically. No internet required, no accounts, no third parties.

This is the right option if your devices are regularly on the same network and you’d rather keep everything fully in-house.

Pros:

• Completely free
• No internet connection required
• Fully autonomous — nothing depends on an external service

Cons:

• Devices must be on the same local network to sync
• Requires some initial configuration and maintenance as you network details change over time

Encrypted Sync Service — seamless sync without sacrificing privacy

The Encrypted Sync Service gives you the convenience of cloud sync — works anywhere, any network, any time — while keeping your data completely private by design.

Before any data leaves your device, Everdo encrypts it with a key that only you hold. The sync server stores and forwards encrypted blobs it cannot read. Not as a matter of policy, but because the decryption key never reaches the server. Your data is private in transit, private at rest, and private from us.

Setup takes a minute. After that, sync just works in the background across all your devices and platforms.

Pros:

• Works over the internet — no shared network required
• Easy setup, nothing to maintain
• End-to-end encryption — data is unreadable by anyone but you
• Switch back to local network sync at any time

Cons:

• Requires a small ongoing fee

Manual Export/Import — occasional use

If you only need to move data between devices occasionally, you can export from one device and import on another. No configuration, no services — just a file.

Be aware that if the same items have been edited on both devices in the meantime, you may have conflicting changes to resolve.

Pros:

• No setup

Cons:

• Manual process
• Conflicting changes can be lost
