offline access

Feature Requests

I’m currently using Griply in a browser and without an internet connection, I can’t access anything.

Maybe this is a feature available with the apps, but I’m on Linux and have an Android phone, so I can’t test this.
Some apps I currently use allow offline access (just for reference and as examples):

  • Todoist - this is not an option in the settings, it’s working offline out of the box, I don’t know how this implemented

  • Fastmail - they introduced this last summer

I use both in a browser, as webapps.

    I don’t know how this is a feature. That should be common sense and the base how such an app is built.

    Sometimes I feel like some developers never left their house or country before. Spoiler: there are countries that don’t offer stable internet connection.

    In no app, I used, I had such a problem. They always synced back to the server and I was able to both access my data and create new one when offline… otherwise, what is the purpose behind a client app if you can’t use it and it’s basically just another browser?

    Some apps even allow me to host my data on an own server, no connection to their infrastructure needed at all (only for license checks). This should be the standard.

    Such a thing should be top priority as it really is a deal breaker unfortunately.

    100% need offline.

    If I install the Desktop app, I expect it it sync things to my computer for 1. Offline access, and 2. Faster access.

    What’s the point of a desktop application, otherwise?

    Also, with more and more people wanting control over their data, we are finally moving away from everything being in the cloud and back to sanity, and people want the benefits of both. So it would be great to see that in an app - where you get most or all features offline, with sync once back online.

    Offline functionality for Desktop

    On a recent trip, I wanted to review and plan things on the journey. I lost internet connection and therefore all contact with Griply. This limits my trust in the app being always ready no matter what the outside circumstances are. I also considered going on regular retreats for review and planning to remote places without internet, this is not possible as of now. Please consider making the desktop app fully offline-ready, just as the iOS counterpart already is!

      This now has turned from a mere annoyance to a real showstopper. Editing is not possible on the Mac without a stable connection. Otherwise, conflicts, hanging or freezing, and crashes are preventing any work from happening. Until this works reliably I am out.
