Offline-first tailoring
Keep taking measurements when the network disappears.
An offline-first tailor app writes the important record to the device before depending on a server. The fitting can continue even when data is slow or unavailable.
What works offline in MyTailorBook
- Create, search, edit, and delete local customer records.
- Enter standard and custom measurements.
- Save fitting notes and a local style reference photo.
- Choose measurement units and field preferences.
- Share profiles and export customer records from the device.
Offline does not mean indestructible
A local record can still be lost if the phone is damaged, reset, or uninstalled before a backup exists. CSV export gives you a portable copy. Connected backup and multi-device sync are planned for signed-in accounts and should be treated separately from the free local ledger.
Local-first and cloud-only are different
A cloud-only app usually needs a connection before it can load or save. A local-first app keeps the working copy nearby and synchronises later when connected services are enabled. This is useful in workshops and fitting locations where connectivity changes during the day.
A practical backup habit
Until cloud backup is enabled, export records regularly and store the file somewhere you control. Check the export before replacing or resetting a device. Offline access improves continuity; a separate backup protects against device loss.
