in sync
On same wavelength
In sync describes things that are coordinated, aligned, or operating in harmony with each other.
The phrase comes from synchronization, originally referring to timing—clocks, music, or movements matching up precisely.
Two people dancing in sync move together; audio and video in sync play at the same rate.
The phrase extends to relationships and ideas: We're totally in sync on this project.
The opposite, out of sync, describes misalignment or disconnection.
