| Install complexity | Easy with a supported package manager; Homebrew must already be installed for this command. Official binaries, Windows, Linux, and source options are documented. | سهل للبداية؛ يحتاج ضبط أمان قبل المشاركة / Easy to start; security configuration required before sharing | Moderate: pair both devices and share folders; APT requires official stable-v2 repository setup first |

| Best use | For developers and small teams that want architecture and data-flow diagrams close to the repository and reviewable as text. Use it when relationships matter more than pixel-perfect placement; not for free-form marketing design or exact manual positioning. | Best for a developer or small team with connected scripts that need schedules, history, and a clear failure point. It adds dependencies, retries, and an operations UI without an external database in single-server mode. A simple independent command may not need it, and some team controls such as additional users, SSO, RBAC, and audit logging currently require a paid license. | Best for an individual working across two computers or a small team sharing files with trusted devices. It moves folder changes instead of repeating manual copies, while keeping device and storage choices under your control. It does not replace independent backups or collaborative editing, and devices holding the files must be reachable. |
