# How to Use Offline Mode

## Offline mode lets you continue using the Timecloud mobile app even when you have no internet connection. Your data is saved locally and synced automatically when you are back online.

#### Working Without Internet

When your device loses its internet connection, the app switches to offline mode automatically. The following features remain available:

- **Clock in and clock out**
- **Start and end breaks**
- **Complete and submit forms**

> Note: Some features, like viewing roster updates or submitting leave requests, require an active connection.

#### Offline Clock-In and Clock-Out![IMG\_8861](https://help.jointimecloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_8861.jpeg?width=170&height=369&name=IMG_8861.jpeg)

- Tap **Clock In** or **Clock Out** as you normally would.
- The app records your time locally with a timestamp.
- An **offline indicator** is shown so you know the entry has not yet been uploaded.
- The entry is queued and will be sent to the server once you are back online.

#### Offline Form Submissions![IMG\_8862](https://help.jointimecloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_8862.jpeg?width=170&height=369&name=IMG_8862.jpeg)

- You can complete and submit forms while offline.
- Attachments (photos, files) are saved locally on your device.
- Once connectivity is restored, the form and all attachments are **automatically uploaded**.

#### Automatic Sync When Back Online![IMG\_8863](https://help.jointimecloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_8863.jpeg?width=170&height=369&name=IMG_8863.jpeg)

- When your device reconnects to the internet, the app **automatically syncs** all queued data.
- This includes clock-in/out records, forms, and attachments.
- You do not need to take any action — the sync happens in the background.
- Once synced, the offline indicator is removed and your records appear on the server.

> **Tip:** Make sure to open the app at least once after regaining connectivity to trigger the sync.
