Apart from carrying out synchronisations, Synkron provides other features. The user interface of Synkron is divided into several sections: Synchronise, Multisync, SyncView, Scheduler, Restore, Blacklist and Filters. The user can switch between these sections by using the toolbar.^[2] Multisync supports synching multiple folders into one folder.^[3]

Synkron is available as a portable app.^[4] Binaries for 32-bit Windows, macOS, and Linux may be obtained from the project's "Files" page. Most Linux distributions no longer include the binary package in their standard repositories,^[5] but the application may be built from source code.^[6]
