Offline & the PWA

A budget is most needed exactly when the network is worst: in the shop, on the train, in the village where the signal is a rumor. Our Konomy is an installable web app that keeps working offline — and it is honest about what offline means.

Installable, like an app

Our Konomy installs from the browser like an app: an icon on the home screen, full-screen, no address bar. It is a PWA — a web app that behaves like the platform it runs on.

Offline — changes are stored locally

With no connection, the app says 'Offline — changes are stored locally'. You can keep recording; the entries wait on your device and sync when the network returns. Nothing is lost, and nothing is faked.

Live data needs the API

Reading shared, live data — the family budget in real time — needs the backend. Offline you work with what is on the device; online you work with the truth. The app tells you which you are in.

What the app never stores

The budget works on the train and in the shop — the changes wait for the network.
