offline mode

Without network access

Offline mode is a state in which software or a device operates without an internet connection.

Applications designed for offline mode store data locally so users can continue working when connectivity is unavailable: The app lets you download articles for offline mode on flights.

The feature is especially valued for travel, remote areas, or unreliable networks.
