LanderSync
Out now · Microsoft Store · Windows
LanderSync publishes a folder to Cloudflare Pages — free hosting, on your own account. No terminal. No zip files. No dashboard to learn. Change one character and press it again: it re-uploads that one file.
Free · MIT licensed · signed by Microsoft, so no security warning
Why this exists
Cloudflare Pages is genuinely excellent hosting, and genuinely free. Getting a folder onto it is the problem — enough of one that it needed a forty-page walkthrough, and every edit afterwards meant doing the whole upload again.
Just for changing a link, forget the link to change a letter you have to make a new deployment all the way? What a user friendly implementation..
Measured, not estimated
Cloudflare's upload API is content-addressed: every file is keyed by a hash of its contents, so the edge already knows what it has. LanderSync computes the same hashes and sends only the difference.
| Action | Files sent | Time |
|---|---|---|
| First publish | 4 | 1.08s |
| Publish again, nothing changed | 0 | 0.16s |
| Publish after changing one character | 1 | 0.69s |
Because it compares content and not timestamps, a file your cloud drive touched but didn't change stays silent.
How you use it
Nothing to install alongside it, nothing to configure, no file named
wrangler.toml
to get wrong. Here is the whole thing.
STEP 01
Press the button and LanderSync opens Cloudflare's token page with the right permission already selected — you copy one key back and that's it.
It finds your account ID by itself. You never go hunting through the dashboard for a 32-character string.
Once, ever
STEP 02
The folder you already keep your pages in. Every sub-folder becomes a sub-page automatically — /keto-quiz, /newsletter-01 — with no configuration and no naming rules to learn.
It shows you exactly which pages it found and which are already online, so you are never guessing what will happen.
Sub-folders become sub-pages
STEP 03
It creates the site on your own Cloudflare account, uploads it, and hands you the address. That address never changes — every update from here replaces what's on it.
Your pages are then served from Cloudflare's network, free, with no bandwidth limit and no server to rent.
A brand-new address takes a few seconds to switch on around the world. After that, an update is roughly one second.
Upload: about a second
STEP 04
Leave it running and it notices when you change a page, then tells you what changed — by name, before anything goes anywhere.
It never publishes on its own. Nobody's live traffic should meet a half-finished edit because a tool got helpful.
Tells you. Doesn't act.
STEP 05
Every publish is kept. Pick an earlier one and it's online again in a second — no re-uploading, and nothing on your PC is touched.
For anyone paying for traffic, that is the difference between a bad morning and a bad month.
One click back
STEP 06
Close the window and it drops down by the clock, still watching. It tells you when a page changes and opens on the change list when you ask it to.
Or quit it entirely — it's a tool, not a resident.
Down by the clock
Being straight with you
LanderSync went through Microsoft's review and is published by September Media OÜ. Windows installs it the same way it installs anything else from the Store — one button, no scare screen.
When Windows meets a program it has never seen from a publisher it has never heard of, SmartScreen shows a blue “Windows protected your PC” screen, and hides the Run anyway button behind a More info link.
That message means “Windows has not seen this file before” — not “this file is harmful”. But LanderSync is built for people who were told, correctly, never to click through warnings like that. Handing them one on the very first screen is a bad way to start, so the app was held back until it was signed.
Store packages are signed by Microsoft itself. Not a smaller warning, and not one that fades away once enough people have downloaded it — no warning at all. Windows also keeps it updated for you, so there is nothing to re-download when a new version ships.
Nothing is hidden either way. Every line of source is public, the installer is built in the open by GitHub Actions, and SIGNING.md documents exactly what the app connects to and how your Cloudflare key is stored. Direct builds are still on the releases page for anyone who prefers them — those are unsigned, and they are the ones that show the blue screen. The Store is the recommended way in.
Windows 10 or 11 and a free Cloudflare account — everything else is inside the app. Install it from the Store and Windows keeps it up to date for you.
