I would guess that it’s the Syncthing “core” inside the wrapper. It’s not mobile optimized. Among other things it will attempt to keep connections to all configured devices. This means continuous network traffic and, in turn, keeping the the CPU and WiFi or Cellular interfaces continously active.

The [other Android app](https://forum.syncthing.net/t/new-alternative-android-app/8808) takes another approach and is probably better at this, although immature in other areas.
