About:
Rsyncy is a wrapper for rsync that provides a clean, informative status and progress bar during file transfers. It parses rsync's verbose output to display real-time statistics like transfer speed, ETA, and file progress in a more user-friendly format. This tool enhances the rsync experience by making long-running sync operations easier to monitor and understand.
Key Features:
  • Real-time progress bar with transfer statistics
  • Displays transfer speed and estimated time of arrival (ETA)
  • Parses standard rsync output for compatibility
  • Clean, minimal interface that doesn't clutter the terminal
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring large file transfers or backups over network connections
  • Syncing directories with many files where visual feedback is helpful
  • Improving readability of rsync operations in automated scripts
Alternatives:
  • pv – Pipe viewer that shows progress for any pipe, but doesn't parse rsync-specific output
  • rsync --progress – Built-in rsync flag provides basic progress but lacks the polished interface of rsyncy
