What is Sync in Comet?
Sync keeps your browsing data consistent across devices running Comet.
It securely syncs bookmarks, passwords, autofill, themes, history, extensions, and open tabs — all encrypted with a private passphrase only you control.
Your Perplexity account provides login, but only your passphrase can decrypt your data.
How to enable Sync
Sign in with your Perplexity account
Open Settings → Sync or Profile menu → Sync
Choose:
Create Sync — start a new encrypted sync chain
Join Sync — enter the passphrase from another device
You can have one sync chain per account, with multiple devices connected.
Pairing devices
When you start Sync, Comet generates a secure 4-word passphrase.
Create Sync — you receive the passphrase to start the chain
Join Sync — enter the passphrase from a synced device
Keep the passphrase safe. Without it, you cannot restore access if you sign out.
Managing devices
In Settings → Sync, you can:
View connected devices
See device name, OS, and last active time
Add or remove a device
Leave or delete your sync chain
Synced data
Comet can sync the following data types (as shown in Settings):
Bookmarks
Passwords
Autofill
Themes
History
Extensions
Tabs
You can toggle each item individually.
Turning an item off stops syncing new updates but keeps your local data.
Tabs on other devices
Comet provides access to tabs opened on your other devices.
To access them, open:
Menu → Tabs on other devices
From there, you can view open tabs from all your synced devices and open them instantly on the current device
This makes it easy to continue work across devices without losing context.
