Some months ago I’v read that there where some issues over privacy on latest syncthing releases, what’s the status as of today? alternative is needed or is safe to use?
I am using researchxxl’s fork now and it works fine, had 2 updates in the meanwhile

Catfriend seems to be still contributing to this fork
Interesting. So while the handover was pretty bad, I think this is the version to go with
Syncthing itself is fine. The unofficial Syncthing for Android was the problem.
You can get around the problem by installing Termux and using the official Syncthing client.
Using termux full time for running network facing services is pretty insecure. Termux should not be relied on for sensitive things, EVERY process runs as the same user.
There is also the android version of syncthing-tray
