ConfigMesh is a modern take on dotfile management, a macOS app that provides end-to-end encrypted sync, encryption, versioning and backup for your dotfiles and application configuration files. - Backup your Xcode settings - Keep your neovim configuration across servers in sync - Share your OpenCode agent skills across machines - Restore your favorite plist settings on new macOS installations - Version your dotfiles and restore previous versions when something breaks - Add config sync to applications that don’t support it natively … and much more. ConfigMesh is e2e encrypted by design, the server has no idea what’s the files you sync. Only the key you specify can decrypt them. It comes with a handy companion linux CLI that you can deploy to your servers. Currently ConfigMesh syncs against our server, but the ability to bring your own backend (such as Dropbox) is already in the works and will follow shortly.

ConfigMesh vs Daytona: Focuses on full environment provisioning rather than just dotfile sync.
ConfigMesh vs Devzero: Provides CI/CD and release automation, not config synchronization.
ConfigMesh vs Pocketenv: Offers sandbox runtimes for agents, unrelated to personal config backup.
ConfigMesh vs DeployHQ: Automates deployments, whereas Synclet handles config versioning and sync.
