⚡ Sync Modes
Real-Time Push and Manual Sync
Bookmark UniSync has exactly two sync modes: real-time push and manual sync. There is no timed sync setting to configure.
| Sync Mode | How It Works | When to Use It |
|---|---|---|
| ⚡ Real-Time Push | Changes are pushed to your other online devices as they happen | Daily multi-device use |
| 🖱️ Manual Sync | Nothing happens until you click upload or sync | Poor network or metered connections |
Free and paid
Manual sync is free. Real-time push is a paid feature with a free trial — see the price page.
Real-Time Push Advantages
- 🚀 Real-time: A bookmark change reaches your other online devices immediately
- 💾 Security: Multiple backup mechanisms prevent data loss
- 🔄 Consistency: Keep data aligned across multiple devices
- ⚡ Efficiency: Smart incremental sync saves bandwidth
Devices that are offline
Real-time push only reaches devices that are currently connected. If a device was closed or offline, there is no timed sync to catch it up — click sync once on that device when you come back.
