Pair deliberately. Review the copy.
- Use the native apps on a compatible private network. The web app and developer extension do not currently host native Wi-Fi sync.
- On the unlocked main desktop, open Trusted devices, start sync and create an invitation.
- Paste the invitation on the receiving native device. Compare the six-digit code through a trusted view of both devices, then approve the request on the main desktop.
- Fetch the main copy and review it. Later incoming edits return as a proposal for the main user to accept.
Keep the main app open and unlocked. TLS certificate pinning protects the paired transport; a matching private subnet cannot prove physical proximity. Never bypass a certificate mismatch. Re-pair through a trusted invitation if the legitimate host identity changes.
If devices cannot connect
Check the host’s current address, guest-network isolation, firewall and VPN. Use a trusted local network; do not forward the sync port onto the internet. Stop sync and revoke a device you no longer trust.
If both copies changed
Export both encrypted files before accepting a replacement. Current sync replaces a complete copy, retains up to ten local native recovery copies and does not merge fields automatically. Three-way conflict review is proposed.
