OmniPresence by The Omni Group is a syncing tool designed for macOS and iOS that enables seamless, document-level synchronization between devices and servers. The core system is built on open standards (WebDAV/Apache) rather than proprietary clouds, giving users the choice of using the company’s free sync server or hosting their own server for full control of their data. MacStories+3Macworld+3MacTech.com+3 On the Mac, the OmniPresence app lives in the menu bar and monitors a chosen folder; on iOS it integrates into the document-browser interface of Omni’s apps (such as OmniOutliner or OmniGraffle). MacStories+1 In practice, reviewers found OmniPresence to be fast, reliable, and tightly integrated with the Apple ecosystem. For example, one test found that edits synced in real time (within seconds) across Mac and iPad. MacStories+1 Because it uses familiar protocols and allows self-hosting, it also appeals to users and organizations with strong privacy or data-control needs. Macworld+1 There are some considerations: since the sync engine runs at the document-level (not merely file-level) users of more diverse workflows might encounter conflicts and need to manage them manually. support.omnigroup.
