# 🧘‍♀️ Zen-Sync A Windows only command-line tool for syncing [Zen Browser](https://zen-browser.app/) data with S3-compatible storage services. ## What it does Since Zen Browser doesn't have proper profile sync yet, this is my quick solution built in a few hours to keep my stuffs in sync across multiple machines. It backs up all the important stuff to any S3-compatible cloud storage so you can restore or "sync" your profile anywhere. No more manually dragging around profile folders every time you edit a settings 🥹🥹😭. I'm so done with that. The default (customizable) setting skips session cookies, temporary storage, and other data because sites I visit can detect copied sessions through fingerprinting and will invalidate them. ## Features - **Bidirectional sync** between local and S3 storage - **Filtering** - only syncs important files, excludes cache and temporary data - **"Incremental" sync** - only uploads/downloads changed files - **Custom S3 endpoints** - works with any S3-compatible service ## 📋 What gets synced by default **Included:** - Profile configuration (`profiles.ini`, `installs.ini`, `compatibility.ini`) - Profile Groups databases (`Profile Groups/*.sqlite`) - Bookmarks (`places.sqlite`, `bookmarks.html`) - Saved passwords and certificates (`key4.db`, `cert9.db`, `logins.json`) - Extensions and their settings (`extensions.json`, `extension-*.json`) - Custom themes and CSS (`zen-*.json`, `zen-*.css`, `userChrome.css`, `userContent.css`) - Browser preferences (`prefs.js`, `user.js`) - Search engine settings (`search.json.mozlz4`) - Favicons (`favicons.sqlite`) - Chrome folder customizations (`chrome/**/*`) - and other files from customizable ruleset **Excluded:** - Cache files (`cache2/*`, `thumbnails/*`, `shader-cache/*`) - Logs and crash reports (`logs/*`, `crashes/*`, `minidumps/*`) - Lock files (`*.lock`, `*.lck`, `parent.lock`) - Temporary storage (`storage/temporary/*`, `storage/*/ls/*`) - Session data (`sessionstore.jsonlz4`, `sessionCheckpoints.json`) - Session cookies (`cookies.sqlite*`) - Temporary browsing data (`webappsstore.sqlite*`, `safebrowsing/*`) Use `--help` with any command for detailed options. ## Quick Start 1. **Configure your S3 settings:** ```bash python zensync.py configure --bucket your-bucket-name --endpoint-url https://your-s3-endpoint.com ``` or just run ```python zensync.py configure``` then edit the configuration json manually. 2. **Upload your profiles:** ```bash python zensync.py upload ``` 3. **Download profiles on another machine:** ```bash python zensync.py download ``` 4. **Two-way sync:** ```bash python zensync.py sync ``` ## 🎮 Main Commands - `configure` - Set up S3 credentials and paths - `upload` - Backup profiles to S3 - `download` - Restore profiles from S3 - `sync` - Bidirectional synchronization - `list-profiles` - Show available local profiles - `profile-info` - Display profile system information ## Configuration Settings are stored in `zen_sync_config.json`.
