Read with or without a connection
With offline mode, the Inoreader apps work without a connection. Mark a feed, a folder, a tag or your saved articles as offline, and the app keeps them on your phone.
Offline pictures
The app downloads the articles together with their pictures, so they open in full without a connection.
Background refresh
The download is refreshed in the background, so when you board, your phone already has the latest articles.
Read, tag and save
Mark articles as read, save them and tag them offline. Each action syncs with your account the moment the app is back online.
Offline markers
Articles that are available offline carry a marker in every list, so you know what will open before you lose the signal.

- Read, tag, save and mark articles as read without a connection. Whenever the app has a connection, it keeps downloading new articles in the background.

Frequently asked questions
What can I read offline?
You can read any feed, folder or tag you mark for offline use, as well as your annotations and your saved articles. The app downloads their articles with the pictures, and it keeps downloading new ones in the background as long as the setting is on.
How do I make a section available offline?
Open the folder, feed or tag in the app and tap the download icon in the top right. You can also swipe the section in the sidebar on iOS, or long-press it on Android, and choose Make offline. A blue arrow in the sidebar marks what is available offline.
Can I do things with articles while offline?
Yes. You can read, mark as read, save for later and tag as usual. The app queues your changes and syncs them with your account as soon as it is online again.
Does full content download too?
Yes, for the articles whose full content you loaded. Articles are stored the way they are in your account, so an article you opened in full downloads whole, pictures included.
Is it on the web?
No. Offline mode is a feature of the iOS and Android apps. The web app needs a connection.
How much space does it take?
It takes as much space as the sections you mark. Mark only the folders you read while traveling, and the app manages the rest.
