offline access

Without internet functionality

Offline access is the ability to use digital content or applications without an internet connection.

Files, apps, or data are downloaded or cached in advance so they remain available when connectivity is unavailable: The app offers offline access to your playlists.

Common in travel contexts, remote areas, or situations where reliable internet isn't guaranteed.
