Does the agent work without an internet connection?

Yes. If your connection drops, WorkMonitor keeps recording locally and catches the server up automatically the moment you're back online.

What this means for you

• The tray icon's tooltip tells you honestly what's happening: it reads "Offline, buffering" while there's no connection.
• Your activity data (what you worked on and when) keeps being recorded on your machine and is held in a queue. As soon as the connection comes back, it's sent in the background, oldest first, and nothing is double-counted.
• Screenshots from an offline stretch may not appear. The rest of your activity for that stretch is still captured and synced normally.
• The queue is sized for ordinary outages: a dropped connection or a commute isn't something you need to plan around.
• There's nothing for you to do. WorkMonitor recovers on its own once the network problem clears, and you don't need to quit or restart it.
