EmuSync syncs game saves between devices by linking save locations to cloud storage or a local or shared folder. It is aimed at people who play emulator or non-Steam games on multiple devices, and those who want another save backup. It supports Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive, and users can configure save locations, have saves detected automatically, and choose automatic or manual syncing. A local backup and restore mechanism is included. Steam Deck users can check sync status through a Decky plugin without leaving desktop mode. Advanced users, scripts, and third-party automation tools can use its local HTTP API; it requires no authentication and is documented as available only on the device, not over the network. The privacy policy says the app does not collect, store, or transmit personal information. Windows 10 and 11 PCs with x64 are confirmed working; Linux installation instructions cover Steam Deck, and the project says it should work on modern Linux devices. EmuSync is free. Its maker cannot currently build and test a Mac version, and has no plans for Android or iOS. The Windows installer is unsigned and may trigger SmartScreen warnings.
