Perhaps, if this is going to take a long time to develop, Miro can consider a partnership with a mobile app such as ZoomNotes or NotesPlus or Evernote, or some other tool that has most of the features and just offer an export to a different format or a transfer/sync to their cloud service.

@Jason Dinkel:

I like your idea - a partnership … hopefully one day it will happen - crossing fingers

Would love to set MIRO as a company standard, but offline mode is a MUST.

Offline is essential for those on business trips or to what the OP indicated. The challenge I see with offline mode is around security. That said, I think this is something that is being asked for on similar platforms.

+1 for this feature.

It is very helpful for transportation or for remote location with no internet or slow connection. For people who live in the countryside it can be challenging to have the 30 mb/s required to make the experience smooth.

I think it’s really not hard to implement

• Just download the desktop app
• add a feature to set a board “offline” → will lock the board
• Edit the board offline
• Push the offline board to online when set back to “online”

Of course it will kill all collaborative functionalities temporarily but it’s most likely not a problem for all people who requested this feature

Check out DEVONthink if you have a mac.

See this post for more details

Could work like git works for code. You can checkout code and run a merge to put it back after your work has been done. Miro could offer a branching mechanism of versions and perhaps even a way to lock the online copy to tell people that you are working on it and while they can save their own versions/changes, that you will be maintaining the main branch.

I often take long train commutes where internet is very unstable, but the environment is perfect for ideation. Being able to use miro during these journeys would be amazing.

Having an offline mode would be perfect.  I really like the idea of locking a board when you are offline so it doesn’t interfere with synchronizing multiple boards that are being edited by different people. 

 Guys you can’t “lock” if you are already offline. Let the devs solve this in the tight way. That said this feature is very much needed. 500+ votes and no action from the dev team? 

Somebody was looking for a DEVONthink plugin, which would really be nice. DEVONthink allows tags and has a build in browser that works “well enough” for miro, at least to get a PDF or take some quick notes in miro, but if it was integrated with hook to allow us to drag an drop links it would be great.

I think we might want to have a look at how MarginNote 3 on iOS and OSx is able to support offline tools. They support Video and Audio. You can play a video and hit a clip button and a note is made in the mind map whiteboard next to the video. The clip can be sized to contain the video you want and you can annotate the image and type text about the the segment of video. The entire database with video can be backed up easily. This allows you to mind-map a video and since they support tags (miro does not) you can keep all the clips organized for study/review later by multiple topics (Who/what/where/when/why). Quite an upgrade from Miro in terms of organization and offline. If miro can work out an offline mode where we can keep a full encrypted copy (with out own security keys) of our data offline and online as well as a way to work with video and audio, it would be great.  As for locking, don't worry about it. Do a system like git (github/gitlab) where you just fork it. If you want to modify the original (main) you have to have permissions and you can execute a merge or copy from your version to their main version and everybody can sync the main when they connect online again if they have read access to it.

Their twitter feed has all sorts of plugin ideas: 

Perhaps an export to iThoughts would be helpful?

MarginNote offers this and it's pretty nice.

Some tools are offering exports in a markdown format.

Something that iThoughts does really nice is offering you the ability to visually see a task priority and progress. They offer small icons over the object.

I would like to see a hierarchical tagging mechanism that works like DEVONthink or gmail or Evernote. Multi-dimensional tagging can really help with organizing all the things in a smart way. DEVONthink offers a smart labeling system that finds all objects based on criteria that you set and so this can be hand.

1. Show me all the things I looked at yesterday or 10 days ago on this date.
2. Show me all the items edited involving taxes
3. Multiple filtering criteria are possible (tags + text + object type + all the other meta data available filename, modification dates, etc.)

It's nicer than search because it's pre-built based on your workflow. Like a project view on steroids.

Also, since miro doesn't make global search possible for most people for some reason, it would be nice to see them consider doing so in a way that would work offline.

We haven’t to go to far:

Lucid (who else) offers Offline Mode:

https://lucidchart.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000675626-Offline-Mode

If miro doesn’t move forward one of the biggest competitors takes more and more clients from them and getting more and more better …

I cannot believe it …  I’m totally sure that they haven’t got such a strong community and templates and miroverse and more ... like miro has ...

Wow and once again it shows, who wants finds a way.. did miro ever answer to any one here? It feels bit like self talk… ‍♀️

Being able to edit a board offline is an absolutely crucial feature for me. I don’t need to be in full collaboration mode when working on new designs or creating other new boards. But I do need the ability to get work done when I plan to on a long overseas flight or other places with no connectivity.

Please, please address this need that so many ask for. 

This is an important feature. One user had mentioned that they had thought it was available via the MIRO desktop app and not the browser. Hope that we can see this feature sooner rather than later.

@miro: please consider this in your backlog and prioritize!

Thanks

Is this ready? @Miro 

I get on an off-planes and could really use that offline time to produce to the top.

Please Miro Product team, listen to your users and prioritize this feature. Thank you!

Critical need!

One of the unique challenges of this offline mode would be three-fold:

1. If you go offline, and work on a collaborative board and you make changes, and then you have another user who is on the same board, whose changes take effect? 
2. How does versioning work with offline mode?
3. If you create content offline in a board, is that data encrypted at REST?

To one of the other users from above there would need to be some form of a sync and that could take quite some time if you work heavily on a board with a lot of objects/widgets. I would LOVE to see an offline-mode but these are some of the concerns I would have that should be looked at with this type of feature.

I’m surprised this is still an issue. There needs to be an offline solution. The funny coincidence is, I was just looking into investing in miro.

This should be a nonstarter, even Netflix has an offline option! Google Docs as well, another collaboration platform. Because they realise the collaborative aspect of the software is not its only draw. I currently am in a hotel in quarantine and want to work on a Miro board on the rooftop, where there is no WiFi. Later in the week I’d love to by a pool or on the beach, all limited by my connectivity.
