Continuous dev-aware sync
rbox watches your working directories and streams changes across every machine in real time — source, configs, and the messy in-progress work that lives between commits.
Continuous, dev-aware sync of your working directories across every machine — source, configs, and even your uncommitted git state. Never your node_modules.

File sync was designed for documents and photos. rbox is designed for repositories — it knows what's regenerable, what's secret, and what git is doing under the hood.
rbox watches your working directories and streams changes across every machine in real time — source, configs, and the messy in-progress work that lives between commits.
node_modules, target/, .venv — rbox never ships gigabytes of regenerable deps. It records the lockfile and rebuilds them locally with rbox hydrate.
Your uncommitted index, stash, and detached HEAD travel with you. rbox moves working git state safely via git bundle, so you pick up exactly where you left off.
.env files, private keys, and credentials are excluded by default. Your secrets live on your machine, not in the cloud — unless you explicitly opt in.
Not Dropbox. Not Syncthing. Both happily ship the gigabytes of dependencies you can rebuild from a lockfile, and neither understands an uncommitted git index. rbox reconstructs deps locally and moves working git state with git bundle — and the daemon stays a polite background citizen, so it won't peg your CPU mid npm ci.
Because rbox never syncs your dependencies, your quota goes a lot further than it would anywhere else.
Need more room? + $3/mo per extra 100 GB on any paid plan.
Close the laptop, open the desktop, keep typing. That's the whole pitch.
