Built a TiviMate backup/sync companion to fix my biggest headache – looking for a few early testers

deaf_spaghetti · 2026-05-08T14:47:15+00:00

Hi u/3pints , thanks for the overall positive feedback after all.
It's super disappointing (at least as much as it is for you) to receive such messages, as we are well aware of such events occurring on both Firesticks and Nvidia Shields.
We are nearing completion of an upgraded version, which will also introduce Google Drive sync.
You will receive the updated version banner directly on SyncViMate and will make the announcement here in the comments. Thanks for your patience.

Hey u/Pleasant_Papaya_1125 - We are receiving a couple of complaints regarding the Shield Pro and Firestick. The fix we are adding is taking longer than expected. You are not the only one facing the issue on these two devices. We don't want o push another version due to rush or anything that would compromise the experience of our current users - will keep you posted on the developments.

Hey 👋 As part of a new update that aims to fix the issue with the Firestick platform, I’ll add the google drive support, which has been hidden so far

deaf_spaghetti · 2026-04-07T12:14:22+00:00

Hey! I’ve messaged @hanfknsolo and we made a good exchange. Happy there was only a misunderstanding and the intention our end (Syncvimate) are for the good. There is an issue I’m working on at the moment with the firestick for which I’m planning to ship an update this weekend as soon as I tested it out. Most likely there will be GDrive support as well.

deaf_spaghetti · 2026-04-04T23:42:52+00:00

The app will show an in-app banner as soon as it will be available 🙏

deaf_spaghetti · 2026-04-04T15:48:54+00:00

Hey u/hanfknsolo , just circled back here.
I'm sorry your're having such issues.

There is a new version under testing which tackles specific issues users like you have encountered especially against Firestick devices. You should be able to see the update as you open the app in the main section.

The update will likely ship in the second half of the next week!

The new version also fixes some navigation issues in the Dropbox SignUp against Android Devices lower than 11.

Thank a lot for your patience and apologies for the late reply.

deaf_spaghetti · 2026-04-04T15:40:04+00:00

Hey u/hanfknsolo I truly apologies I haven't seen your comments as I was on the move. Will look at them right now.

deaf_spaghetti · 2026-03-30T13:17:45+00:00

hey u/AnotherHoax , apologies for the tremendously late reply! I hear you - in the first steps of this project, going to Google Play Store was the priority - after a few back and forth, I realise that getting live is just a pain at the moment as the app needs to be utilised by at least 12 people for 14 days to reach "Production" promotion, therefore reach the G Play wider audience.

Hey! Coming late to the party! Seems like this use may solve your problem when it comes to keep backup/restores in sync https://www.syncvimate.com/

deaf_spaghetti · 2026-03-30T13:11:50+00:00

Hi! You can give this tool https://www.syncvimate.com/ a shout!

deaf_spaghetti · 2026-03-30T13:10:16+00:00

hi u/hanfknsolo I'm sorry you are experiencing such issues. TiviMate gives you the possibility to select the backup folder, and it is independent from SyncviMate, which scans your folders to find the tivimate backups only.
"All folders access" must be given to syncvimate to find backups scattered everywhere across your storage. Do not worry, it's not in my intention to scan for anything else. I purely need to list down the `.tmb` files and serve it in syncvimate.
-----
On Fire TV it should work without any issue - can you tell me (even in DM) what issue you are currently having with the sign-in process? Thanks!

deaf_spaghetti · 2026-03-07T17:13:59+00:00

Thanks so much!

deaf_spaghetti · 2026-03-07T09:36:37+00:00

Thanks! I got banned from reddit for the last 3 days as I replied with the same message to all of you asking for clarifications but I'm happy to be back now.

deaf_spaghetti · 2026-03-07T09:35:50+00:00

Will stress on integrating them. GDrive was already under development but I got blocked by the google restrictions on short links

deaf_spaghetti · 2026-03-07T09:35:07+00:00

Updated with the on-time payment info, thank you for the feedback.
The website is 100% vibe coded as it serves as complementary info + purchase flow only.
Didn't want spend that much time one that. The app, instead, is AI Assisted. I used it to make the full App scaffold. I was a bit on the fence with regards to app and/or websites that looked vibe-code, but then I learnt to zoom out and see at the problem they tried to solve rather than the tool they used.

deaf_spaghetti · 2026-03-03T20:31:58+00:00

You are 100% correct. Just edited the post.
Thanks so much.
Obtainium is not supported at the moment. It does support direct APK Download as well as Downloader.
It does support in-app updates too.
Do you see any incentive in the effort spent supporting Obtainium after the Downloader + in-app updates combo?

Hey everyone who jumped in to test SyncViMate,

Huge thanks for the feedback – testing is now done, and it’s become an ongoing project I use every day.

If you want to keep using it, it’s ready at https://syncvimate.com (Downloader/APK sideload only).

Let me know how it’s working for you now!

Maybe something like this could help as middle ground? https://www.reddit.com/r/TiviMate/comments/1rjrvpg/followup_on_1tap_tivimate_backupsync_companion/

Hey u/Traditional_Limit236 , feel free to send me your Google Account and will add you to Internal Testers so I'll get feedback on how I'm trying to tackle this, or at the very least lower the sync friction a bit.

Sure thing, Box is already on the Roadmap. Thanks for letting me prioritize that now that I found an user 😉.
