Help & FAQ/Sync & devices

Can I stop a device from syncing without signing out?

Ask your AI agent instead

Yes. Open Settings > ID & Sync and press "Pause sync". That device stops sending anything to the server: notes, settings and files alike. You keep writing exactly as before, everything queues locally, and the moment you resume it all goes up.

The pause belongs to that device alone. It does not travel to your other devices and it never clears itself, because a switch that says "this device talks to nobody" must not be turned back on by anything except you. One thing keeps running on purpose: the small heartbeat that lets a removed device learn it was removed, which is how a lost device still wipes itself.
