Will Dharma Dr. Work Without Internet Access?

Yes — Dharma Dr. does not require internet access to function for most use cases.

When Internet Is Not Required

• Manual Use: You can pair your tabs to the app and run vibration sessions locally via Bluetooth
• Independent Mode: Use the tabs without the app by removing them from the case together — no connection needed
• In-Person Sessions: Therapists and clients in the same room can use the app and tabs offline

When Internet Is Required

• Remote Access Sessions: You need an active internet connection for your therapist to control your tabs remotely
• Initial App Setup: The app may require a connection on first install or if updates are needed

Pro Tip:

If you plan to use the tabs offline regularly, we recommend fully pairing and testing the tabs in-app first so your preferences are saved.
