Owldo — Feature

Offline first.
Sync when you want.

Most apps treat offline as an emergency backup mode. Owldo treats it as the default. Your data lives on your device first in SQLite, so everything opens instantly and works without internet.

Offline-first sync
Two devices side by side (desktop + phone) showing the same note, with a subtle 'synced' indicator. Convey cross-device parity.
The same workspace on every device — even with no signal.

Opens in milliseconds

Owldo reads from a local SQLite database on your machine. There’s no spinner waiting on the cloud — the app is ready the instant you open it, every time.

Works with no connection

Planes, subways, dead-zone cabins, conference Wi-Fi shared by 400 people. Write, check things off, reorganize. When you’re back online, it catches up on its own. Offline isn’t a degraded mode — it’s the default.

Phone in airplane mode (show the airplane icon in the status bar) with Owldo fully usable — editing a note or checking a task.
Airplane mode on. App still works.

Every device, one workspace

Sign in on your Mac, Windows PC, iPhone, and Android and it’s the same workspace everywhere. Changes sync in the background — no manual save, no export-and-import, no conflict dialogs to babysit.

Yours, even if you leave

Because storage is local-first, your work survives an outage, a cancelled subscription, or a bad day at the data center. Sync is a feature. Local is the foundation. Owldo never reverses that.

Frequently asked questions

Does Owldo really work with zero connection?

Yes. Every task, note, and setting is saved locally on your device in SQLite. Owldo opens fast and lets you work anywhere — on a plane, in a subway, or with dead Wi-Fi.

How does sync work when I reconnect?

Owldo syncs changes automatically in the background using ElectricSQL. Your devices catch up smoothly without conflicting duplicates.

Is offline support free?

Yes — the local tier is completely free. Syncing across multiple devices is $3/month ($36/year).
