The plan usually includes features like high-speed data or a streaming video service that each family member can share.

Notion’s offline mode might just make me ditch Obsidian

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority Notion is one of my favorite tools. From databases to to-do lists, tracking restaurants I wanted to check out, and so much more, I’ve dabbled in it for years until I finally made the switch to Obsidian.

Notion has introduced a long-awaited feature, adding offline mode to the AI-powered project hub. However, documents don’t just work offline by default. Instead, Notion has designed offline mode to be, well, a separate mode. It needs to be enabled manually for each document you want to access without an internet connection. For some subscriber tiers, offline mode can apply to certain documents without flipping the toggle, but there are still some parameters to be familiar with in the new system.
