The Offline-First Manifesto
Software should not fall apart when the internet does.
It should not hold your work hostage behind logins, subscriptions, or sync errors.
Offline-first is not a feature.
It is a responsibility.
What Offline-First Actually Means
Offline-first does not mean “no internet ever.” It means connectivity is a bonus — not a requirement. The app stays useful in real life: travel, stress, low signal, deadlines, and bad days.
Local by default
Your core work lives on your device so you can keep moving even in airplane mode.
Predictable behavior
No surprise lockouts. No “sign in again” loops. No blank screens when servers hiccup.
Graceful recovery
When something fails, the product helps you recover — it doesn’t punish you.
Why Offline-First Is an Ethical Choice
People rely on software during stress, travel, emergencies, deadlines, and fatigue. Designing only for “perfect connectivity” ignores real life — and pushes failure onto the user.
Reliability is respect
When tools fail at the worst moment, people lose time, money, and trust. Offline-first design respects the user’s reality.
Control reduces anxiety
Knowing your work is accessible — even without servers — lowers cognitive load. Calm technology begins with control.
