I use an empty file with the modification timestamp to indicate the last time I manually synced my SyncThing-ed directory of my mobile phone pictures to my backup location.

I set up an alias to touch in my ~/.config/xfe/scripts directory.

$ ls -l ~/.config/xfe/scripts
total 3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 bgstack15 bgstack15  14 Aug 13 14:42 touch -> /usr/bin/touch

So now I can just right-click the file and update the timestamp, now that I have re-synced. Because I keep some images on my mobile phone, I won't need to bother with any older than this synced-here file.
