Offline mode

No signal in the basement, on the train or at the cabin? Kinnomy keeps working. You can read the calendar, tick off the shopping list and add a task, and your changes are sent when the connection comes back.

Kinnomy keeps a copy of your household in that browser, on that device, in the browser’s own storage (called IndexedDB). There is one copy per person and household. It is the same information you already see in the app, kept on the device so it can open without a connection.

When the network or the server cannot be reached, Kinnomy opens the saved copy with a quiet bar, for example “Offline. Showing what was saved at 3:42 PM.”

You can still create, edit, delete and finish things, check off the shopping list and send Talk messages. Those changes wait in a queue saved on the device and are sent in order when you are back online.

If someone changed the same thing in the meantime, or you no longer have access, the server says no. Kinnomy tells you plainly and keeps the server’s version. If you were signed out while away, it asks you to sign in again and keeps your unsent changes.

Uploading photos and documents, AI answers, share links, invites, payments, carpool swaps, family screen changes, refreshing a calendar, importing a recipe and the setup assistant all say they need a connection.

In Settings, Data, the switch Keep a copy on this device for offline use is on by default. Turning it off deletes the copy on that device. Signing out also deletes the copy and any unsent changes on that device, and asks first if something has not been sent.

Because the copy lives in that browser, turn offline mode off on a shared or public computer.

Offline mode is on every plan, including Free.
