Offline Action Queue (Mobile)

The mobile apps keep working when your connection drops. Actions you take while offline — playing, downloading, queueing, and more — are recorded locally and synced to your server automatically once you're back online.

How it works​

  • When the app can't reach your server, your actions are stored in an offline action queue on the device instead of being lost.
  • As soon as connectivity returns, the queued actions are sent to the server and your state catches up — listening progress, queue changes, downloads, and the rest.

Viewing pending actions​

The app includes an action queue screen where you can see the actions waiting to be synced. This is handy for confirming that something you did offline is still pending and will be applied when you reconnect.

Why it matters​

Podcast listening often happens exactly where connectivity is worst — planes, subways, basements, road trips. The offline action queue means your listening on those trips isn't lost; everything reconciles with your server the moment you have a signal again, so your other devices stay in sync too.

Tips​

  • Pair this with Downloads and Auto-Download so you have episodes on-device and your offline actions sync cleanly later.
