Grout App is built with an offline-first architecture. The core canvas and local AI tools are designed to keep working even when your internet connection drops.

What works offline

  • The core canvas — creating, arranging, and editing your work

  • Local AI — models that run entirely on your machine

  • Your already-organized AI-Memory material

What needs a connection

Features that rely on the internet — such as the 300+ cloud AI models, AI image generation models and phone scanning over Wi-Fi — need connectivity. When you're offline, switch to Local AI to keep your AI workflow going.

Tips for offline work

  • Open the app at least once while online so your account and tools are ready.

  • Set up a Local AI model in advance so it's available when you lose connection.

  • When your connection returns, cloud models and phone scanning become available again.

Why offline-first matters

Offline-first design means an unreliable connection never breaks your focus — you can keep working seamlessly through a dropout.
