Sync, Data & Privacy
Understand Offline Storage and Cloud Sync
Know what stays on-device, what Premium Cloud Sync adds, and what happens offline.
On this page
Lognote keeps a local working copy so writing and organizing remain available without a network connection. Cloud Sync is an account-based layer on top of that local-first design.
Understand the three sync modes
Signed out: your library stays on the device and no account sync runs. Signed in with Free: private groups stay local, while groups you joined can sync in shared-only mode. Signed in with Premium: private Cloud Sync is enabled in addition to shared groups.
Local edits made while offline are queued and sent after connectivity returns when the relevant sync mode permits them.
Check sync status
- Open the Sync status indicator to see whether Lognote is synced, working, pending, or failed.
- Keep the app open and connected while a large initial sync or media upload finishes.
- Open the detail sheet to review pending or failed work before retrying.
