Devices and sync

Your Mandala can live on several machines at once: a server, your Mac, a laptop. They are the same Mandala, not copies of each other. Each is a node with its own key; paired nodes sync every 20 seconds and converge on the same records and vaults. Your phone and your browsers are clients of a node.

Offline

A node accepts your changes offline and syncs when it can reach the others. Records whose rules allow it merge automatically; the rest become conflicts you settle, never silent losses.
