Resilio Sync allows you to automatically sync files between computers via secure, distributed technology (P2P bittorrent protocol).
Fast, intelligent file transfers. Sync skips the cloud and finds the shortest path between devices when transferring data. No Cloud. No uploading to third party servers. Just fast, simple file syncing.
Use your local network You don't need the Internet to use Sync. Sync can utilize local networks even if the Internet is down or unavailable. You can even set up a router in a place with zero internet access to share data over a private network.
Intelligent synchronization. Incremental updates After you edit an existing file, Sync knows how to update only the parts that have changed rather than the entire file. This makes updates much faster, especially for large files.
Continuous synchronization and updating Keep all of your shared folders up to date all the time across all devices. Updates and changes are synchronized immediately and automatically.
Pause specific folders You can pause syncing for specific folders, or for everything at once. If you're in a situation with extremely limited connectivity you can turn off everything but the most important folders to ensure that information is synchronized as efficiently as possible.
On-demand access to files.
Save space with placeholder files When 'Selective Sync' is on, Sync will create placeholder files in your filesystem that can be searched locally. Download only the files you need, when you need them, without having to replicate entire folders on every device. Placeholder files are representations of your files that can be double-clicked and downloaded locally.
Access massive files when you need them Don't want to sync the entire contents of a folder to your device? Turn on 'Selective Sync' to save space. You can choose to only sync files on-demand, when you need them.

TextMate brings Apple's approach to operating systems into the world of text editors. By bridging UNIX underpinnings and GUI, TextMate cherry-picks the best of both worlds to the benefit of expert scripters and novice users alike.
Whether you are a programmer or a designer, the production of code and markup is hard work. Without an editor dedicated to the task, it is also often cumbersome, overwhelming, and repetitive. Especially when you are dealing with a lot of files at once — like most projects do. TextMate puts you back in control, reduces the mental overhead, and turns manual work into something the computer does.
Fonts And Colors
Created by a closet UNIX geek who was lured to the Mac platform by its ease of use and elegance, TextMate has been referred to as the culmination of Emacs and OS X and has resulted in countless requests for both a Windows and Linux port, but TextMate remains exclusive for the Mac, and that is how we like it!
TextMate is not an IDE but by using its powerful snippets, macros, and unique scoping system, it can often provide features that even a language specific IDE lacks. It has enough project management features to keep most users happy, but is otherwise kept lightweight with a clean and minimalistic GUI.
