iCloud Sync

Fox uses iCloud to keep your data in sync across all your devices — Mac, iPad, and iPhone. Start a project on your Mac, continue it on your iPhone, finish it on your iPad: it's all the same workspace. Sync happens automatically in the background through CloudKit, and everything Fox tracks is included.

What Syncs

Everything you create in Fox syncs across devices:

  • Projects
  • Issues (including notes, subtasks, history, and attachments)
  • Versions and milestones
  • All project attributes — statuses, priorities, types, tags, resolutions, link types
  • Issue links
  • Custom ordering (board column order, manual issue ordering)

Synced Settings

When iCloud is enabled, Fox also syncs a selection of your settings so your workspace feels the same on every device:

  • General settings
  • Issue group configurations
  • Navigator layout and customizations
  • Sort defaults

If you add a "High Priority" group on your Mac, it'll show up on your iPhone the next time it syncs. If you reorder issues manually on iPad, the order follows you to Mac.

Offline Support

Fox works fully offline. You can create projects, edit issues, move cards on the board, and do anything else without a network connection. Changes queue up locally and sync automatically the next time you're online.

There's no separate "sync now" button you need to press after working offline — reconnecting is enough.

Requirements

iCloud sync requires:

  • An iCloud account signed in on the device
  • iCloud Drive enabled
  • Fox allowed to use iCloud in Settings

If sync ever seems stuck, check that all three are in place. Fox also surfaces sync status and a manual sync trigger in Settings.
