When the wifi drops: what the desktop app does and doesn't keep
What happens in Lemon Link when venue wifi drops mid-shoot, why it keeps no local copy of your studio, and what it does keep on your computer.
When venue wifi drops mid-shoot, Lemon Link behaves like a browser tab: it loads your live studio, so it can't show a booking, a contact or a gallery until the connection returns. It doesn't keep a local copy of your studio data.
Why wifi drops happen at the worst moments
Venues with many devices connected at once, older buildings with weak infrastructure, and outdoor locations relying on a single access point all commonly lose connection exactly during the busiest part of an event, when the most people are trying to use the network.
What it does keep on your computer
A small AI model that writes alt text for your photos, free. The photo never leaves your computer; only the text is uploaded.
A habit that helps
Leave Lemon Link running in the tray on the computer at home or in the studio. It picks up jobs queued for your computer while you're out, and you can start an alt text run from your phone.

Why does venue wifi tend to drop during busy moments?
Many devices connecting at once, older building infrastructure, or a single access point covering an outdoor area are common causes, and they tend to bite exactly when the most people are using the network.
Does the desktop app keep my studio readable when the wifi drops?
No. It loads your live studio, so it needs a connection, the same as the browser.
What carries on while I'm at the shoot?
Jobs queued for your computer, if it's on with Lemon Link in the tray. Start an alt text run from your phone and you get a notification when it's done.
