Offline Mode

⚠️ Not available yet: a dedicated offline mode with background sync for accounts, and full offline caching of the web app.

Tarc does not currently have a dedicated "offline mode" feature. This page explains what actually works without a connection today, and what doesn't.

Not available yet: a dedicated offline mode with background sync for signed-in accounts, and full offline caching of the web app (no service worker is currently registered).

What already works without a connection

Guest Mode stores all progress locally on your device and doesn't require a server connection to function — in that specific sense, a guest using the app after it has already loaded can continue a lesson without connectivity. This is a side effect of how Guest Mode is built, not a dedicated offline feature.

What requires a connection

  • Signing in (Google or email) always requires a connection
  • Cloud Sync — an account's progress only saves to the server when online
  • The global leaderboard and public profiles
  • Loading the app for the first time, or after clearing cache (there's no offline-installable cache of the app itself)

Why this matters for accounts specifically

If you have an account and lose connectivity mid-session, there's currently no guaranteed local queuing/retry system for changes made while offline — the safest assumption today is that an active connection is needed for your account's progress to actually save.

Frequently asked questions

Does Tarc work without an internet connection?

Partially — Guest Mode can continue a lesson that's already loaded without connectivity, since it's fully local. Signing in, Cloud Sync, and the leaderboard all require a connection.

Is there a dedicated offline mode for accounts?

Not available yet — there's no background sync or offline queuing system for signed-in accounts today.

Can I install Tarc as an offline-capable web app?

Not currently — no service worker is registered, so the web app doesn't have offline caching in the way some installable web apps do.
