Here’s a card on our roadmap that you can vote for: https://trello.com/c/46l658SA/146-pro-true-offline-mode
Within the next year… that’s possible, but no guarantee. Technical issues left aside, we’re a little concerned that data corruption would happen eventually, and because it’s not on the cloud, there’s not much we can help.
We have heard about quite some cases like these – for some reason the Dynalist folder gets modified into a state that Dynalist can’t parse them. I suspect it could be things like anti-virus or storage management software, but we can’t tell yet. Anyway, in unfortunate cases like this, we tell the users to delete their local and pull a fresh copy from the cloud, which will work wonderfully. This trick won’t work for a truly offline client.
I understand you want it. Just thinking we need to convey this risk properly, which is a challenge. People often don’t realize how bad it would be before running into situations like this… when your entire Dynalist becomes unreadable .
Still, I like the idea, and it seems to be the trend nowadays.
