Working offline

No signal on site? No problem. Install RopeLogix as an app and keep working — your entries sync when you're back in range.

Installing as an app

RopeLogix runs in your browser but can be installed as a standalone app on your phone or tablet — no app store required. It works on iOS, Android, and desktop.

iPhone / iPad (iOS)

  1. 1.Open Safari and go to app.ropelogix.com.
  2. 2.Tap the Share button (the square with the arrow pointing up).
  3. 3.Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
  4. 4.Tap Add. The RopeLogix icon appears on your home screen.

Android

  1. 1.Open Chrome and go to app.ropelogix.com.
  2. 2.Tap the three-dot menu in the top right.
  3. 3.Tap Add to Home screen or Install app (wording varies by device).
  4. 4.Tap Install.

Desktop (Windows / Mac)

  1. 1.Open Chrome or Edge and go to app.ropelogix.com.
  2. 2.Look for the install icon in the address bar (a small screen icon). Click it.
  3. 3.Click Install. RopeLogix opens as a standalone window.

What works offline

  • ✓
    Logbook drafts — start and save a new hours entry, including photos, voice notes, and gear tags. The draft saves locally.
  • ✓
    Pre-start checklists — run a pre-start and collect crew signatures. The GPS stamp is captured from the device; the record syncs when you're connected again.
  • ✓
    Viewing recent records — logbook entries and SWMS documents you've recently opened are cached for viewing offline.
  • ✓
    Photos and voice notes — attach from your camera roll or record a memo. Both save locally with the draft.

What needs signal

  • ○
    Live review queue — supervisors need a connection to receive and sign pending entries.
  • ○
    AI SWMS suggestions — the AI canvas requires a connection. The rest of SWMS drafting works offline once the template has loaded.
  • ○
    Team credential dashboard — live data requires a connection.

The sync chip

When you're offline, a small sync indicator appears at the top of the screen. It shows how many local changes are waiting to be sent.

When you reconnect — back in the truck, at the site office, wherever signal returns — RopeLogix syncs automatically. The chip disappears. No manual action required, no data lost.

First install tip: Log in and open the key screens (your logbook, any active SWMS, the pre-start template) while you have signal, before heading to a remote site. This caches the content and makes offline use much smoother.
