Sync & Offline
What happens when you make changes with no signal, and how PourCost catches up when you reconnect.
Updated October 2, 2026
No signal in the basement walk-in? Keep working. PourCost saves your changes on the phone and sends them up when you're back online.
How to tell you're offline
- A small cloud icon shows up at the top right, next to search. A slashed cloud means you're offline.
- When you're back online with changes still waiting, the icon shows how many are left to send.
- Once everything is sent, the icon goes away.
You'll also see a quick "Offline" note when you save something without signal, and a "Synced" note when those changes go through.
What works offline
- Your Bar Inventory and cocktails, as of the last time you were online.
- Editing ingredients and cocktails, and adding new ones.
- The Quick Calculator.
What needs a connection
- Signing in.
- Searching the Ingredient Database.
- Adding classics from the library.
- Restoring a PourCost Unlimited purchase.
Editing on two devices
Waiting changes stay saved on your phone, even if you close the app. If you edit the same drink on two devices while one is offline, the change that syncs last is the one that sticks. Keep big edits to one device at a time.
Tip
Seeing a "Sync Issue" message? PourCost retries on its own. If it keeps showing up, close and reopen the app with a solid connection, then check the item you changed.
