No Wi-Fi? No signal? No problem. Enable offline mode and your forms keep working. Submissions are queued on the device and synced automatically when connectivity returns.
When offline mode is enabled, the entire form — fields, logic, assets — is cached on the device. Respondents can open and fill out the form with zero network access. No app install required.
Submissions made offline are stored securely on the device. Each entry is timestamped and tracked. When connectivity returns, they are replayed in order — automatically, in the background.
Queued submissions sync as soon as the device reconnects. Failed submissions retry with exponential backoff — up to 5 attempts. Permanent failures are flagged so nothing is silently lost.
Respondents always know what's happening. A non-intrusive banner shows offline status, pending submission count, sync confirmations, and any errors — all accessible and screen-reader friendly.
Each form generates its own PWA manifest dynamically — using the form title, theme color, and URL. Add it to the home screen for a native app-like experience without app stores.
Enable offline mode per form in the editor settings. A privacy notice reminds you that form structure will be cached on respondents' devices. Disable anytime to revoke caching.
Forms with payment fields detect the missing connection and show a clear message — no silent failures. Non-payment fields in the same form still work offline.
When the device reconnects, the cached form definition is compared against the latest version. If you've published changes, respondents see the updated form on their next visit — no manual refresh needed.
Most form builders require a constant internet connection. formcel is the only platform that lets your forms work completely offline with automatic background sync — no native app required.
Enable offline mode on any form. Responses are captured no matter what — and synced when connectivity returns.
