Rainy is a free synchronization/cloud server intended for use with Tomboy and other Tomboy-like clients (like Tomdroid). Rainy can be easily hosted in your own private cloud, and gives you the control over your data and privacy.
- has two different data backends that can be chosen: plain XML files (one per note) or single sqlite database
- written in C# and runs with mono on all major platforms (could for example be hosted at a small home server, NAS or cheap VPS/cloud server)
- easy deployment through single Rainy.exe file that only requires mono to run, all other libraries are packed, merged and statically linked
- re-uses the existing tomboy-library, which is a C# library that should one day put in place into Tomboy, and could be used by other potential clients
- uses the awesome ServiceStack framework for providing the Tomboy REST API and the ServiceStack.ORMLite O/R Mapper for database access
- licensed under the free GNU AGPLv3 license
