LibreNo signal? No problem.
LibreCam works offline-first. Take photos in basements, on roofs, in rural areas — everywhere. Photos sync when you're back in range.
How offline mode works
Take Photos Anywhere
Basement, roof, rural jobsite — no signal needed. Photos save to your phone with full GPS, compass, and weather data.
Keep Working
Browse your projects, view your photos, fill out checklists, add voice captions — everything works offline.
Auto-Sync
When you get signal back — driving home, at the office, on WiFi — everything syncs automatically. Thumbnails first, then full photos.
Why offline-first matters
Basements and interiors
No signal in a basement? Common. LibreCam doesn't care. Take 50 photos underground. They'll sync later.
Rooftops
Cell signal drops on the roof. With LibreCam, your photos save instantly to your phone. Guaranteed.
Rural jobsites
New construction in a dead zone? Take photos all day. Sync when you drive back to town.
Smart sync queue
Thumbnails upload first so your team sees previews fast. Full-resolution photos follow. Failed uploads retry automatically.
Offline reliability: LibreCam vs CompanyCam
Cloud-dependent
Photos go to the cloud. If you lose signal mid-upload, photos get stuck in the upload queue. Users report lost photos regularly.
Offline-first
Photos save to your phone first, always. The cloud sync happens in the background. Even if your phone dies, your photos are safe locally.

LibreCam warns you when storage is low. Photos that have already synced to the cloud can be cleaned from local storage to free up space.
Not until they sync. Once you're back online, photos sync in the background and appear in your team's feed within minutes.
