The Vibe app is offline-first. Check-ins, journal entries, and mindful sessions are all written to local storage first and then synced. The app never blocks you on a network request during core flows.
What gets queued
- Daily check-ins — queued until connectivity returns.
- Journal entries — same, with a 24-hour edit window that starts at write time, not sync time.
- Mindful sessions — session start and end are recorded with timestamps.
- Survey answers — queued and reconciled against the survey's cutoff.
Conflict resolution
Only one device at a time should be signed in for a given teammate. If a conflict does occur — e.g. an old iPad comes online after a new phone — the newer timestamp wins, and the older device shows a one-time 'Your data is catching up' banner.
Survey cutoffs are server-authoritative
If a survey closes while an answer is still queued locally, the answer is discarded on sync and the teammate sees 'This survey has closed'. This is by design — it keeps reported response times honest.
