Working Offline

FarmFlo works even when you don't have internet:

  • View all your animals, herds, and pastures
  • Add new animals and update existing records
  • Create tasks and notes
  • Log treatments and medical events
  • Take photos (saved locally until sync)

How Syncing Works

When you're back online, FarmFlo automatically:

  • Uploads any changes you made offline
  • Downloads changes made by team members
  • Syncs photos and documents
  • Merges changes intelligently (no data loss)

A sync indicator in the app shows when syncing is in progress.

Tips for Mobile Use

  • Open the app when you have signal to sync before going to the field
  • Use the camera feature to quickly add photos to records
  • Enable notifications to get reminders about upcoming tasks
  • The app works best in portrait mode on phones
  • Larger screens (tablets) give you the full desktop experience
