What syncs
Platform-specific storage, stated plainly.
Account identity is shared across iPhone, Mac, and web. Optional iPhone Buddy Log writes locally first and synchronizes private, ownership-scoped roll and frame records. Mac photos, filenames, paths, recipes, ratings, edits, exports, previews, and libraries remain local and are not cloud-synced through the account.
