What works offline
- Timer: start, pause and finish sessions. Sessions you save offline are kept and sent when you're back online.
- Stats: drawn from what your device keeps, plus any sessions still waiting to upload.
- Planner: add, edit and complete lists, tasks and habits. Changes are queued and sent in order when you reconnect.
- Block (Android app): blocking runs on your phone and needs no connection. YouTube University needs a connection to check videos.
What needs a connection
Study groups and group chat, the leaderboards, PulsePom AI and anything to do with Premium need to reach our servers.
How syncing works
If you're signed in, PulsePom keeps a copy of your Stats and Planner on the device. While you're offline, your Planner changes are queued; when the connection comes back, they're sent in the order you made them and the Planner is read from the server again. If you changed the same task on two devices while both were offline, the change that syncs last wins, as it would online.
Without an account, everything already lives on your device, so offline and online work the same.
Make sure it works offline
Open PulsePom once while you're online on each device you'll use. The Windows and Android apps, and PulsePom installed from Chrome or Edge, open quickly from what they keep.
