How your library syncs between Web and iPhone

Traklist keeps one server-backed library for your account. Files, folders, and saved changes are available on Web and iPhone after each fetches fresh data. But the open screens are not live mirrors, and some workflow state stays local to Web or iPhone.

What syncs between Web and iPhone

  • Files across more than 130 supported file types, once the upload is saved to your account. Recordings join the shared library after iPhone saves and uploads them.

  • Folder creation, names, nesting, moves, copies, deletion and recovery, and custom item order.

  • Saved names, notes, artwork, and favorites for files and folders.

  • On Hold status, which applies only to audio files.

  • For supported audio: saved BPM and key edits, waveforms, and loudness-analysis results.

  • Share links, plus the owner controls Link Enabled and Allow Downloads.

  • Recently Played, Recently Created, Recordings, and Shared, which draw from the same server-backed data wherever they appear.

Note — Two features never cross surfaces: Tags are Web-only with Pro, and Offline downloads are iPhone-only with Pro, stored on that iPhone.

Why an open screen can look out of date

Web and iPhone read the same server records, but each keeps cached data so your library opens quickly. A change made in one place may not replace an already-open view in the other until that view fetches again.

  • iPhone can show cached folder contents first, then replace them with current server data.

  • Web can reuse cached library and folder results instead of requesting the same data again each time you navigate.

Refresh after changing something on the other surface

  1. Finish the rename, move, folder action, or upload where you started it.

  2. On iPhone, open My Library or the affected folder and pull down to refresh. Pulling down on Home refreshes Recently Played and Recently Created.

  3. On Web, reload the page while viewing My Library or the affected folder.

  4. If the change still doesn't appear, confirm Web and iPhone are signed in to the same account.

Syncing does not mean every file is downloaded

Web reads your library over an internet connection and has no Offline destination.

On iPhone, seeing a file in your library does not mean its contents are stored on the device. With Pro, only the files and folders you make available offline appear in Offline and stay reachable without a connection.

Marking an item offline on iPhone does not create an offline copy on Web.

What stays local

  • Upload progress before the file is saved, and an unsaved iPhone recording session.

  • The current screen, open folder, selected items, and open menus or panels.

  • The playback queue, playhead position, shuffle, and repeat.

  • On Web — list columns, list density, and local sorting defaults.

  • On iPhone — Offline downloads (Pro), audio player settings, recording settings, and local sorting or layout choices.

Useful tips

  • Refresh before editing the same item on the other surface. Otherwise you may be working from an older cached name or location.

  • Open the item's containing folder before refreshing. Home shows quick destinations, not a complete view of your library.

  • When testing sync, change one clear thing, like a file name, and confirm it lands before changing several at once.

Troubleshooting

  • If a new file appears on only one surface, check its upload status before troubleshooting the refresh.

  • If a rename, move, favorite, artwork, or share-link change is missing, refresh the affected folder or page. For tag changes, refresh on Web. Tags are not available on iPhone.

  • If only layout, player, recording, or offline behavior differs, check the local-state list above. That difference is expected.

  • If the problem continues, note the item name, containing folder, time of the change, where you made it, where it's missing, and whether a manual refresh helped — then contact support.
