# Offline capture

> Capture leads without a connection — they sync automatically later.

Conference halls and trade show floors often have poor connectivity. The Caard mobile app is built for this: every capture method works offline.

## What happens offline

When you capture a lead without a connection:

* The lead is saved to your device immediately and you see **"Saved offline — will sync when you're back online."**
* A banner shows how many leads are waiting: **"You're offline — 3 leads waiting to sync."**
* Pending leads appear in your Leads tab marked as not yet synced.

## When you're back online

Pending leads sync automatically — no action needed. Each lead then gets its normal post-capture treatment: [enrichment](/leads/enrichment), [ICP scoring](/leads/icp-scoring), and CRM sync if configured.

If a lead fails to sync, it stays in the pending list with a retry option.

<Tip>
  For the most reliable offline experience, [install the app to your home screen](/mobile/install-the-app) before the event. Captures, notes, and voice dictation all keep working without a signal.

## What's stored on your device

Offline leads live in a local outbox on your phone until they sync. Recently viewed leads are also cached so you can browse your list offline.
