A native desktop or CLI process is not automatically offline. This row requires a documented workflow that can complete without a network connection after any stated installation or model-download prerequisites. Evidence should record installation and model downloads, recurring sign-in or license checks, updates, telemetry, remote connectors, disabled features, offline duration, and the steps required for an air-gapped installation. Data locality without offline operation belongs in the relevant privacy qualifier rather than being treated as the same claim. ## Catalog context - Category: [security-privacy](/categories/security-privacy.md) - Terminology basis: Common product term - Aliases: offline mode, air-gapped operation, no-cloud mode - Family: [Security and privacy](/features/data-security-controls.md) - Siblings: [Audit logs](/features/audit-logs.md), [Data residency](/features/data-residency.md), [Data retention controls](/features/data-retention-controls.md), [Encryption key management](/features/encryption-key-controls.md), [Organization policy controls](/features/admin-policy-controls.md), [Secrets management](/features/secrets-management.md), [Training data controls](/features/training-data-controls.md) ## Compatibility assertions Unknown means insufficient published evidence;

observed 2026-08-28 - Qualification note 1: Evidence checked 2026-08-28: Grok Bot requires cloud data storage, authentication through a Cursor account, and a hosted computer; accounts using Legacy Privacy Mode must change to a supported data setting before the product can start. ### Perplexity (web) - Harness: [Perplexity](/harnesses/perplexity-web.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown** ### Le Chat (web) - Harness: [Le Chat](/harnesses/le-chat.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown** ### Devin (web) - Harness: [Devin](/harnesses/devin-web.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown** ### Replit Agent (web) - Harness: [Replit Agent](/harnesses/replit-agent.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown** ### ChatGPT (desktop) - Harness: [ChatGPT](/harnesses/chatgpt-desktop.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown** ### Claude (desktop) - Harness: [Claude](/harnesses/claude-desktop.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown** ### Cursor (desktop) - Harness: [Cursor](/harnesses/cursor.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown** ### OpenWork Desktop (desktop) - Harness: [OpenWork Desktop](/harnesses/openwork-desktop.md) - current: **Unknown** ### Copilot Chat (desktop) - Harness: [Copilot Chat](/harnesses/vscode-copilot.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown** ### Chrome WebMCP origin trial (desktop) - Harness: [Chrome WebMCP origin trial](/harnesses/chrome-webmcp-preview.md) - current: **Unknown** ### Windsurf (desktop) - Harness: [Windsurf](/harnesses/windsurf.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown** ### Zed Agent (desktop) - Harness: [Zed Agent](/harnesses/zed-agent.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown** ### Continue (desktop) - Harness: [Continue](/harnesses/continue.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown** ### Cline (desktop) - Harness: [Cline](/harnesses/cline.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown** ### JetBrains AI (desktop) - Harness: [JetBrains AI](/harnesses/jetbrains-ai.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown** ### Warp (desktop) - Harness: [Warp](/harnesses/warp.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown** ### Claude CLI (cli) - Harness: [Claude CLI](/harnesses/claude-cli.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown** ### ChatGPT CLI (cli) - Harness: [ChatGPT CLI](/harnesses/chatgpt-cli.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown** ### Codex CLI (cli) - Harness: [Codex CLI](/harnesses/codex-cli.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown** ### OpenCode (cli) - Harness: [OpenCode](/harnesses/opencode.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown** ### Gemini CLI (cli) - Harness: [Gemini CLI](/harnesses/gemini-cli.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown** ### Aider (cli) - Harness: [Aider](/harnesses/aider.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown** ### Goose (cli) - Harness: [Goose](/harnesses/goose.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown** ### Copilot CLI (cli) - Harness: [Copilot CLI](/harnesses/copilot-cli.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown** ### Amp (cli) - Harness: [Amp](/harnesses/amp-cli.md) - current: **Unknown** - preview: **Unknown**
