Offline and sync

Local first

Every change is written to your device first (IndexedDB in the browser, a local database on desktop) and pushed to the server in the background. So:

• Offline, you can create, edit and organize as usual; the status reads "Offline · N changes will sync when you are back online".
• When the connection returns, pending changes are pushed automatically.
• The app never waits for the server to open your notes.

Live sync

While online, the server tells your other devices about new changes and they pull them, usually within a second or two.

Editing on two devices at once

• Title, notebook, tags, pinned and other properties merge per field; the latest change of each field wins.
• Body text is merged three-way against the version you started from. Edits to different paragraphs combine into one note.
• When both sides changed the same lines and cannot be merged, your version is saved as a conflict copy and the original stays as it was. No words are lost; compare the two and merge by hand.

History

Synced libraries keep history automatically. Open History from the note menu to view and restore an older version.

Retention: everything from the last hour; one version per 10 minutes for a week; then one per day until the server's retention period.

Trash

Deleted notes go to the trash first and can be restored.

Sync status

Status	Meaning
Synced	This device and the server agree
Syncing…	Pushing or pulling
Offline	No connection; changes are kept on this device
N changes refused by the server	E.g. an attachment over the size limit; see the message

Signing out with unsynced changes asks you to confirm, because those changes would be lost.
