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

说明与用途

HelixSync 是一个自托管的浏览器同步解决方案，使用 PostgreSQL 存储加密数据，让用户完全控制书签、历史记录和标签页，无需依赖第三方服务。

问题

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

结果

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

工作流

• 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)

证据

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

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

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

来源

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