Offline Mode
HausFlow is intended to remain useful when connectivity is weak, interrupted, or temporarily unavailable.
What Offline Support Means
Offline support should allow people to keep moving through core workflows instead of treating connectivity loss as a full stop.
That usually means:
- locally captured progress
- delayed sync when connection returns
- clear status signals
- minimal disruption to core flows
Cross-Edition Principle
The same offline principle applies across editions:
- Family should still support routine continuity
- Roommate should still support shared-space coordination
- future Professional editions should still support essential workflow continuity
Common Offline-Safe Use Cases
- capturing a task or duty
- checking a routine or checklist
- writing a short reflection
- reviewing previously loaded content
- holding changes for later sync
User Expectation
Offline mode should feel like graceful degradation, not feature collapse.
The product should stay clear about:
- what still works locally
- what requires a connection
- what is waiting to sync
Troubleshooting
If your data looks out of sync after reconnecting:
- reopen the app
- check your network status
- trigger manual sync if supported
- contact support if the issue persists
