Notion Offline Mode Not Working
Workaround available Windows, macOS, iOS, Android Updated October 21, 2026
Quick answer
Notion offline mode only covers pages you mark 'Available offline' in the desktop or mobile app on that device, without subpages, and only the first 50 rows of a database's first view. It never works in a browser.
Most likely fix: Use the desktop or mobile app.
Symptoms
A page shows 'offline' or won't open without internet, subpages are missing, databases only show some rows, or embeds, AI blocks, forms and buttons don't work offline.
Why it happens
- Using Notion in a web browser (offline isn't supported there)
- Page was downloaded on a different device (downloads are per device)
- Subpages are not downloaded with the parent
- Databases only download the first 50 rows of the first view
- Block type not supported offline (embeds, AI blocks, forms, buttons)
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Use the desktop or mobile app
- Install the Notion app from notion.com/download or your app store
- Offline mode does not work in Chrome, Safari or other browsers
2. Mark the page available offline on this device
- Open the page in the app
- Select ••• at the top right and toggle on Available offline
- Wait for the progress bar to finish before going offline
3. Download subpages separately
- Open each important subpage
- Toggle Available offline on each one
4. Get more database rows offline
- Make your most-used view the first view of the database
- Download important rows beyond row 50 individually
5. Check what is downloaded
- Go to Settings > Offline
- Review manual and automatic downloads (paid plans auto-download recent and favorite pages)
