Offline Support ​

We are on a mission to improve the offline support for Capacities. Already now, you can work offline with Capacities. Your changes will get synchronized as soon as you're back online.

Features supported when offline ​

• Full reading and editing experience: All content will be loaded to your device. You'll be able to access and edit this content in Capacities while offline.

• Conflict resolution: If you work on content from two different devices, changes will not just get overwritten. We're solving this with a prompt allowing you to select the version you want. Later we'll work on more sophisticated merging algorithms.

• Fail safe syncing: Ideally, synchronization should never fail. Although this is not possible we're reducing the number of synchronization issues to keep them to a minimum.

• Fast local search: You can search for the title of your objects when offline. You can also link and navigate to content without any limitations.

• Offline support for object dashboard, collections, and most object queries: Most queries can be resolved without internet access.

• Task actions: You can send tasks to your task manager. They will be added as soon as you're back online.

• Local backlinks and tag pages: All backlink data is available on your device you you can view all tag pages and backlinks even when being offline.

• Offline object and tag queries: All object and tag queries are live updated even when being offline.

• Offline calendar: Date links and all views in your calendar updated locally and work offline.

Roadmap towards full offline support ​

Not all features are available offline yet. Here's our roadmap towards achieving better offline support over time:

• 🔳 Local media storage: Files and images will get downloaded and stored on your device. You'll be able to display and use them on your device.

• 🔳 Offline media uploads: Support for uploading content while offline. It will be stored to your device and uploaded as soon as you're back online.

• 🔳 Local (automated) backups: You'll be able to create a markdown backup of your local data on your device automatically.

Features without offline support ​

The following features will be (at least in the near future) not be available offline.

• Full-text search, extended search, and search queries: These features will not work offline. Nevertheless you'll have access to title search when offline.

• AI Assistant and AI features: AI features will in the forseeable future be dependent on a powerful server. They will not work while offline.

• Some settings: Updates on the user account, integration setups, etc. will not be possible when offline. This is a technical limitation and cannot be changed.
