The internet went. Your work did not.
Pages you have already opened keep working without a connection, and what you change is saved on the device. The whole screen fades to grey, so you always know when you are offline.
- Pages you opened stay available
- Changes saved on the device
- A clear offline look
Made for real connections, not perfect ones
Shops lose signal. Clinics have a back room with one bar. Trains go through tunnels. The panel is built so that a dropped connection is an inconvenience, not a crisis.
Every page you have opened, or that the panel loaded ahead for you, is kept on the device and opens without a connection. Your work is saved on the device shortly after each change.
When you go offline, the panel fades to black and white and a banner says: you are offline, changes are saved on this device. When the connection returns, a message tells you you are back.

A gentle fade to black and white. Layout and buttons stay exactly where they were.

Back online

Where you will find it
Sketches of the real screens in the panel, with the names you will see on them.
