Real-time Sync

How Sync Works

Brain Dump uses real-time synchronization powered by Convex to ensure your dumps are always up-to-date across all your devices. When you create, edit, or delete a dump on one device, the change is instantly reflected on all your other devices—no refresh needed.

Multi-Device Workflow

Capture on Mobile, Review on Desktop

Dump an idea on your phone while commuting, then review and expand it on your laptop when you get home.

Collaborate Across Devices

Start a task list on your tablet, add items from your phone, and check them off from your desktop.

Never Lose Progress

Even if one device is offline, your dumps are safe in the cloud and will sync when you reconnect.

Common Questions

What happens if I'm offline?

Your dumps are cached locally. You can still view and create dumps offline, and they'll sync automatically when you reconnect.

Is there a limit to how many devices I can use?

No! Use Brain Dump on as many devices as you want.

How fast is the sync?

Typically under 100ms. You'll see changes almost instantly.
