Sync

Sync is optional in OpenOnyx. Local writing works without a server. When you need shared access, you can connect your own Supabase project.

Why it exists

Collaboration should extend ownership, not replace it. Your local vault remains the source material; sync is a choice you configure.

When to use it

Use sync when a Space needs to move between machines or when a team needs a shared knowledge surface.

Workflow

Keep a local vault → configure your Supabase project → choose what to sync → verify a second device → continue working offline when needed.

Before you connect

  • Back up the vault.
  • Confirm who controls the Supabase project.
  • Decide which notes belong in the shared Space.

OpenOnyx tip
Start with one small Space before connecting a whole archive.
