I Built an Open-Source Alternative to Browser Sync — Your Data, Your Server

Описание и применение

HelixSync – это самодостаточное решение для синхронизации закладок, истории и открытых вкладок браузера, которое хранит данные в PostgreSQL и шифрует их, позволяя пользователю полностью контролировать свои данные.

Задача

Users want to sync bookmarks, browsing history, and open tabs across devices without relying on third‑party services like Google or Microsoft.

Результат

HelixSync enables end‑to‑end encrypted synchronization of browser data across devices while keeping all data on a user‑controlled server.

Рабочий процесс

• Deploy HelixSync on a server using Docker Compose
• Create an account and save the recovery code
• Install the HelixSync browser extension
• Connect browsers to the server via the extension
• Select data types to sync (bookmarks, history, tabs, tab groups)

Доказательства

I built **[HelixSync](https://github.com/GhaziAlibi/helixsync)** — an open‑source, self‑hosted solution that puts you in control of your browser data.

Источник

HelixSync uses end‑to‑end encryption. Your synced browsing data is encrypted so the server stores ciphertext rather than readable bookmarks and history.

Источник

With Docker Compose, you can get the server, database, and web dashboard running on your own machine or server.

Источник

HelixSync intentionally **does not sync passwords**. It focuses on browser data such as bookmarks, history, tabs, and tab groups.
