Every Feature, In Detail

From months-out planning through the last dance, EventSync covers every phase of your wedding. Here is a deep dive into every tool at your disposal.

SmartRipple™ Timeline Adjustment

Weddings never go exactly as planned. SmartRipple is our intelligent algorithm that automatically absorbs delays and redistributes time across your entire timeline — so one late toast does not cascade into a ruined evening.

Fixed

Immovable Moments

Ceremony, first dance, sunset photos — events that cannot be compressed or removed under any circumstances. Their duration is sacred.

e.g. Ceremony (30m), First Dance (5m)
Buffer

Absorbs Overflow First

Built-in padding between events. Buffers are the first to shrink when delays occur, compressing all the way down to zero before anything else is touched.

e.g. Transition Time (15m), Buffer (10m)
Cuttable

Non-Essential Blocks

Short, optional moments (15 minutes or less) that can be removed entirely if buffers are not enough. They disappear cleanly from the schedule.

e.g. Bouquet Toss (10m), Garter Toss (5m)
Compressible

Shrinks Proportionally

Events that can be shortened but never eliminated. 50% max compression with a 25% floor and a hard minimum of 5 minutes. Shrinks are distributed proportionally.

e.g. Cocktail Hour (60m→30m), Toasts (20m→10m)

Priority Cascade

Step 1

Buffers Absorb

All buffer blocks shrink toward 0 min to absorb the deficit first.

Step 2

Cuttable Removed

Non-essential blocks ≤15 min are dropped entirely from the timeline.

Step 3

Compressible Shrink

Remaining deficit is spread proportionally. Max 50% cut, min 5 min.

Works Everywhere, Even Without Signal

Venues with spotty reception? Remote barn ceremony? EventSync works fully offline. Every feature runs on your device, and data syncs automatically when you reconnect.

💾

Local SQLite Storage

Your entire wedding — timeline, guest list, budget, vendor contacts — is stored locally in a SQLite database on your device. No internet required to read or write any data.

☁️

Firestore Cloud Sync

When you are back online, changes sync automatically to Firestore. Your team sees updates in real time. No manual sync button — it just works.

📋

Queue-Based Sync

Every change made offline is queued with a timestamp. When connectivity returns, the queue replays in order, handling conflicts gracefully so no data is lost.

📡

Connection Monitoring

EventSync continuously monitors your network status. An unobtrusive offline banner appears when you lose connection, and disappears the moment you are back — with a brief "syncing" indicator.

⚠️ You are offline — changes will sync when connected
