Data boundaries on desktop and mobile
Understand desktop-local workspaces, cloud synchronization and mobile capture storage.
Updated
Desktop offers local and cloud workspaces. Mobile connects to cloud workspaces and keeps necessary capture material and caches on the device. Their storage capabilities are different.
Local business data lives on the current computer. The app can start offline, but online models, platforms and services still require connectivity. Signing in does not automatically upload local workspace contents.
Back up local material. Signing out and deleting a local workspace are different operations. Check what exists only on the old computer before moving devices.
Cloud data is authoritative, with a synchronized copy on desktop. During a network interruption, do not assume new changes have reached the cloud or another device. Check the account, workspace, connection and synchronization message first.
Creating a workspace with the same name creates another workspace rather than restoring synchronization.
The phone's offline capture inbox stages material; it is not a full local workspace. Native sessions use secure system storage. Mobile web uses the current tab's session storage. Mobile AI connects to cloud execution or an available remote node.
The current desktop app uses Electron. Mobile uses Expo and React Native. Older references to a unified Tauri client no longer describe the current implementation.
Check Downloads for released platforms, Installation for setup and Mobile use for capture.
Q: Does signing in automatically upload my desktop local workspace?
**A: ** No. Its data stays on the current computer and needs your own backup. If you use cloud AI, separately review the reference material supplied to that task.
Q: Does being able to open online workspace data on desktop prove sync succeeded?
**A: ** Local visibility alone is insufficient. The desktop may be showing a synchronized copy. Check the network and sync state, then confirm that the latest changes reached the online workspace.
