Before refreshing, double-check that you’re signed in with the exact same email address on both your Mac and iOS devices. Even a slight difference in capitalization or spelling can prevent syncing.

On macOS

You can refresh Cleft in two ways:

  1. Press ⌘ R while the app is in focus
  2. Click Refresh in the menu bar

Cleft automatically refreshes when you return to your desktop and open the app after being away.

On iOS

Pull down from the top of any screen in Cleft to refresh the app.

After Refreshing

After refreshing:

  • Your notes and settings will remain intact
  • Any pending syncs will resume
  • The app interface will reload with the latest state

If your notes still aren’t syncing after refreshing:

  1. Check that you’re signed in with the same email on both devices (go to Settings > Account on each device to verify)
  2. Ensure you have an internet connection
  3. Try refreshing both devices
  4. If issues persist, check our FAQ for more troubleshooting steps
