About:
Syncalicious is a macOS utility designed to backup and synchronize user preferences and application settings across multiple machines. It leverages iCloud or other cloud storage solutions to ensure consistency in your development and personal environment. This tool saves significant time by automating the tedious process of manually replicating configurations.
Key Features:
  • Automated preference synchronization via iCloud
  • Granular control over which apps and settings to sync
  • Simple, native macOS user interface
  • Backup and restore functionality for disaster recovery
Use Cases:
  • Maintaining consistent development environments across a MacBook and Mac Studio
  • Quickly setting up a new Mac with all existing preferences and app configurations
  • Creating a reliable backup of system and application settings
Alternatives:
  • mackup – mackup is a command-line tool that syncs configs to cloud storage, whereas Syncalicious offers a GUI-driven experience.
  • iCloud Keychain – iCloud Keychain syncs passwords and credit cards, but not the broader application preferences and system settings that Syncalicious handles.
