I remember hearing about Notion working on an offline mode during one of their presentations. They said it was being developed and would be coming soon. I was really excited about this because I travel a lot for work and often find myself without internet access.
Does anyone know if this offline functionality has actually been released yet? I keep checking for updates but haven’t seen anything concrete. It would be amazing to be able to work on my notes and documents even when I’m on a plane or in areas with poor connectivity.
Has anyone tried using Notion without internet recently? I’m wondering if they quietly rolled out some offline capabilities that I might have missed.
Still waiting on offline mode too. The real problem is getting stuck when you rely on one tool and lose connectivity.
I hit this same wall managing project docs across different sites. Instead of waiting for Notion to fix it, I built a workflow that auto-syncs my key pages to multiple formats and locations.
I use Latenode to pull my critical Notion pages, convert them to markdown, and push copies to my local drive, Google Drive, plus send summaries to my phone. When I’m offline, I work in whatever app I’ve got, then everything merges back when I reconnect.
Bonus: it monitors my workspace for changes and creates automatic backups. Even if Notion crashes completely, I never lose my work.
Why wait for features that might never happen? Build what works for you now.
Nope, Notion still hasn’t rolled out offline mode even though they announced it at the conference. I’ve been tracking this closely since I work remotely with crappy internet connections. Right now you still need internet for basically everything - it only caches a few pages you’ve looked at recently. From their community forums, they’re stuck on the technical stuff around syncing offline edits with their collaboration features. The tricky part is handling conflicts when multiple people edit the same thing while offline. Based on how they usually develop features, I wouldn’t expect it until late 2024 at the earliest.
Nope, no official release yet. I tested this hard last month on a business trip with terrible wifi. Notion still needs internet for basically everything - you can only read recently cached pages, that’s it. Can’t even save simple text edits without connection. It’s annoying because other note apps figured this out years ago. Their support told me they’re stuck dealing with how their block editor and real-time collaboration work together. Apparently the offline sync conflicts are way more complicated than they thought. I’ve started backing up important stuff in plain text files just in case.
no luck with offline mode yet. I’ve been using Notion for years and they keep pushing this back. not holding my breath anymore - they’r too busy with AI features instead of basic stuff we actually need.
Nope, still no offline feature - it’s been in development forever. I actually switched to Obsidian because of this exact problem when I needed reliable offline access for fieldwork. The issue isn’t just local storage - Notion’s whole setup depends on server-side processing for databases and block rendering. They said in their last dev update they’re rebuilding core components to make offline work properly. My workaround has been using their web clipper to save important pages as PDFs before I travel. Not perfect, but at least I can read critical stuff when there’s no internet.
totally get it! it’s a bummer, especially for us always on the move. I thought they wuld have it by now too. let’s just hope they push it out soon, would make things much easier
