📴 Working Offline with the KYP Connect App
The KYP Connect App is designed to capture work activity even when offline — whether you're:
Not connected to the internet
Not using a VPN
Experiencing temporary server maintenance
This ensures work data can still be collected, but there are a few important limitations to keep in mind.
🔗 1. Initial Connection Is Required
Before the app can collect any data — online or offline — it must connect to the server at least once.
This connection is needed to download the configuration that tells KYP what to monitor.
We recommend staying connected for at least 5 minutes during the first launch or after reinstalling the app.
💾 2. Offline Data Storage Is Limited
KYP can store up to 60,000 functions in its offline database.
This limit varies by user and activity level:
For some, it may cover 2 days of work.
For others, it could extend up to 2 weeks.
Once this limit is reached:
Older data starts getting deleted automatically.
Some of the oldest offline data may not be recovered or sent once you're back online.
🔄 Recommendation: Ensure VPN or server connectivity at least every 2 days to prevent data loss.
⚙️ 3. No Configuration Updates While Offline
While working offline, the KYP Connect App cannot download updates to your application definitions or monitoring rules.
If a new app is marked as productive while you're offline, KYP won’t start tracking it until you reconnect and the updated configuration is downloaded.
