Lumina Journal uses Apple's iCloud to automatically sync your journal entries, vision boards, and settings across all your Apple devices. Your data syncs in the background every 5 minutes, and you can also manually trigger a sync from the settings. All sync operations are secure and private, using your personal iCloud account.
While an iCloud account is required for syncing across devices, you can still use Lumina Journal without one. Your data will be stored locally on your device. You can sign in to iCloud later to enable sync functionality.
Lumina Journal works perfectly offline. Any changes you make will be saved locally and will sync automatically when your internet connection is restored. You can continue writing and using all features without interruption.
You can check the sync status in the app's settings under "iCloud Sync". The status indicator shows whether sync is active, when the last sync occurred, and if there are any issues. You can also manually trigger a sync from this screen.
