Notion users cannot access or create notes in their workspace without an active internet connection, blocking the most fundamental use case of a note-taking app. Mobile users who need to capture ideas in low-connectivity environments have no fallback. This forces users to use a second app for offline capture and manually migrate content back into Notion.
