Offline Capabilities
FeyNote is designed to work offline so you can keep writing, planning, and building your world even when you don’t have an internet connection. Your changes are saved locally and sync back automatically when you reconnect.
How It Works
Section titled “How It Works”FeyNote saves your documents to your device using your browser’s built-in storage. This means your content is available whether you’re online or off. When your connection comes back, everything syncs with the server automatically. There are no manual steps to worry about.
Connection Status
Section titled “Connection Status”You can check your connection status at any time by looking at the cloud icon near the bottom of the left side menu. It shows one of four states:
- Online (cloud icon): Everything is working normally. Your content is cached locally, so if you go offline, you can continue editing.
- Online, no offline support (cloud with question mark, yellow warning): You’re connected to the internet, but your browser doesn’t support offline syncing. Consider switching to Firefox (recommended!) or Chrome for the best experience. The native desktop app is also a great option for guaranteed support.
- Offline (cloud icon, yellow warning): You’ve lost your connection, but your changes are being saved locally. They will sync to the server when you come back online as long as your browser stays open.
- Offline, no offline support (cloud with X, red warning): You’re offline and your browser doesn’t support offline syncing. Your changes will not be saved. Switch to Firefox (recommended!) or Chrome to avoid losing work. The native desktop app is also a great option for guaranteed support. If you close your browser, any offline changes you’ve made will be lost.
A Last Sync timestamp is shown alongside the status so you can see exactly when your content was last synced with the server.
Browser Support
Section titled “Browser Support”Firefox and Chrome (including other Chromium-based browsers like Edge) have full offline support. Other browsers, such as Safari, may not support offline syncing. For the most reliable experience, we recommend using Firefox (recommended!) or Chrome.
The native desktop app is also a great option for guaranteed support.
Files and Images
Section titled “Files and Images”If you add images or other files to a document while you’re offline, they’re saved locally on your device. Once your connection is restored, they upload to the server automatically. You don’t need to re-add them.
Collaboration and Syncing
Section titled “Collaboration and Syncing”If you and a collaborator both edit the same document while one of you is offline, FeyNote merges your changes together when the offline user reconnects. Both sets of edits are preserved, so there’s no need to worry about overwriting each other’s work.
