Desktop mode
Runs on your computer using the Clianta desktop app. Your computer must be on and the app running for automation to work.- Available on all plans, including Free
- Full control — watch the browser in action
- Best for testing, manual browsing, and monitoring accounts closely
Cloud mode
Runs on Clianta’s servers around the clock. No need to keep your computer on.- Handles DM sending, follow-ups, inbox monitoring, and warmup automatically
- Best for production campaigns and consistent uptime
Cloud mode requires the Scale or Power plan.
Same profile, same data
Profiles aren’t duplicated between desktop and cloud — one profile lives in both:- Cloud-managed profiles still appear on your desktop for manual use
- Activity history shows whether each action happened on Desktop or Cloud
- Leads, messages, and settings stay in sync
Enabling cloud mode
1
Check your plan
Make sure you’re on Scale or Power.
2
Enter credentials (recommended)
In your account’s General tab, enter your Instagram username, password, and 2FA secret key. This is recommended so the cloud can log in automatically when sessions expire.
3
Move to Cloud
Click Move to Cloud. Clianta transfers your session to the cloud servers.
Using both together
When cloud mode is active for a profile:
Desktop waits if the cloud is currently using the profile, then opens it when free. Sessions sync in both directions so nothing is lost.
How handoffs work
Moving a profile between desktop and cloud is a handoff, not an instant switch:- Moving to Cloud — The desktop app uploads the latest session before the cloud takes over. The profile shows “Moving…” during this process.
- Taking back to Desktop — The cloud stops first, then the desktop app pulls the session. The profile shows “Returning…” status.
