Offline Mode
MoaTails works without an internet connection. Your pet's data is always accessible, no WiFi required.
Always Available
MoaTails is built offline-first. That means your pet's data doesn't live "in the cloud" waiting for a connection. It lives right on your phone. The cloud is just the backup.
No WiFi? No problem. I keep everything saved right on your phone. Your pet's care doesn't pause just because the internet does!
What Works Offline
Everything. Specifically:
View your calendar: See all upcoming and past events
Complete tasks: Mark medications as given, log weights, check off activities
Create new events: Add one-time or recurring events
View and create pet profiles: Access all pet info and add new pets
Browse documents: View stored PDFs, images, and records
Read notifications: See your notification history
Update settings: Change preferences and configurations
How Sync Works
When you're back online, MoaTails automatically syncs all changes to the cloud:
Changes queue up: Every action you take offline is recorded locally
Sync happens automatically: When a connection is detected, queued changes are pushed to the server
Team members see updates: Once synced, your care team's devices update too
No manual action needed: You don't need to hit a "sync" button or do anything special
If you and a care team member both make changes while offline, MoaTails handles the merge automatically when you're both back online. Your data stays consistent.
When Offline Mode Shines
At the vet: Vet office WiFi is notoriously unreliable. Pull up your pet's vaccination records, medication history, and weight chart without skipping a beat.
Traveling: Road trips, flights, rural getaways. Your pet's care schedule is always with you.
Countryside walks: No cell service on that woodland trail? Log the walk anyway.
Power or internet outages: Life doesn't stop, and neither does your pet's care routine.
Data Safety
Your data is safe in both directions:
Local first: Data is written to your device before it's sent anywhere. Even if the app crashes mid-sync, your local data is intact.
Cloud backup: Once synced, your data is encrypted and stored securely on MoaTails servers. If you lose your phone, sign in on a new device and everything downloads.
