I’m currently set up to sync between my Linux laptop and GrapheneOS phone using regular Syncthing and Syncthing-fork. It works great! However, since I have it set to sync only over my local wifi, that means (I guess?) that location on my phone has to be on all the time. Which is fine, except that it tends to run the battery down. I’d like to be able to “set it and leave it” without draining the battery on my phone. Does anyone know if there’s a way I can do this? Right now I have to remember to turn location on on my phone and force start Syncthing on it before starting up my laptop.

    You should also say to work only when charging. It’s the syncing action that’s using the battery (lots of comparison, monitoring, hashing), not the check of the WiFi name
