Hello all!
Offlined v1.0.1 is here!
A big update focused on fixing bugs, app reliability and a much more powerful image gallery.
🚀 App startup — smarter, more resilient
• Now tells .NET Framework issues apart from antivirus blocking — no more confusing "missing .NET" errors when it's actually your AV
• Detects known antivirus/EDR software (Bitdefender, Microsoft Defender, Avast & more) and names the likely culprit
• Auto-unblocks internal files flagged by Windows as "downloaded from the internet" — a common silent killer of app startup
• Detects when the backend starts but can't be reached locally, and flags a firewall/AV network inspection issue
• More resilient single-instance lock — tolerates antivirus scans or sync tools briefly locking the file
• Startup error messages now available in 15+ languages, with a direct link to fix .NET when needed
🖼️ Image gallery — completely leveled up
• New grid view with real thumbnails (remembers your preference)
• Sort by actual capture date (EXIF), with smart fallback
• Manually fix capture dates for cameras with a wrong clock
• Tags now visible right in the file list — no need to open each photo
• Folders show photo counts at a glance
• New duplicate finder — detects duplicates by content, not just filename
• Side-by-side image comparison
• Move/copy images to another folder straight from the viewer
• Save rotation, mark favorites, and a keyboard shortcuts panel — all inside the viewer
• Smarter tag search: search multiple tags at once, match-all or match-any
• Fixed a bug where the map showed gray/unstyled on fresh installs
🔧 Performance & stability
• Fixed "database is locked" errors under concurrent tag access
• Background tag reconciliation on startup — rename or move a photo outside the app, and its tags/geolocation/people are automatically re-linked instead of lost
100% offline. 100% yours. No cloud, no tracking — just a more solid Offlined.

And the newest part, still a bit slow for now: our local AI model analyzes each image and automatically tags everything it recognizes. Nothing uploaded to the cloud.
We've been working on Offlined for months, and one feature is now solid enough for you to try first: photo management. 📸
Here's why it's the best place to start recovering/migrating your content 🧵
We promised open weights for Qwen3.8. Now, time to meet them! 🎉
⚡ Qwen3.8-27B:
- A native multimodal dense model. With just 27B parameters, it outperforms Qwen3.7-Plus overall and shines in real-world coding & office workflows.
- 262K native context, easily extendable to 1M tokens via YaRN.
- Built for builders. Highly efficient, high-quality, and licensed under Apache 2.0.
🚀 The open weights for Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B (Max-level) have also been released recently.
Whether you're shipping lightweight applications with Qwen3.8-27B locally or building agents with Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B, they're yours now!

There’s another use for Offlined we’ve been thinking about a lot: children’s first step into digital knowledge.
It’s still in beta, and there’s a lot of work ahead. But we can already imagine it as a safe space for kids to explore and learn before they have unrestricted access to the internet.
Not taking knowledge away from them, quite the opposite.
Wikipedia. Maps. Stars and planets. Nature. Wildlife. Trees. History. Science. And so much more.
A world of knowledge, without ads, tracking, algorithms or an open internet constantly pulling them somewhere else.
Maybe children don’t need less knowledge.
Maybe they need a safer way to access it first.
We’re building Offlined with that possibility in mind.
When I was a child, I loved Encarta and spent hours exploring it. Offlined could bring that same feeling of discovery to a new generation, updated for today, and built with privacy in mind.

While we keep fixing the bugs you've spotted, here's another reason Offlined keeps evolving:
🧒
Kids deserve a safe place to learn.
The internet can give children access to almost everything, but it can also expose them to ads, tracking, algorithms, distractions, and content they never asked for.
💡
Offlined is a private world of knowledge that runs 100% on the device.
Encyclopedias. Maps. Nature & wildlife. Wiki-trees. Stars & planets. History. Science. And everything curious minds need to explore, without an internet connection, without tracking, and without their questions becoming someone else's data.
🌱 A safe space to learn, explore, and grow.
📚 Knowledge is their superpower.
🔒 Privacy is their right.
Offlined. Built for curious minds. Built for children.

While we fix the bugs you've spotted, here's one of the biggest reasons Offlined keeps evolving:
🚨 4 billion people have no reliable internet access.
Millions more do, but pay for it with their privacy. Every question to a cloud AI is recorded. Every search, analyzed.
💡 Offlined runs 100% on your device. No servers, no connection, no data leaving your machine. An LLM, expert agents (gpt-oss), offline Wikipedia, maps, docs, all local, all yours.
🌐Knowledge for everyone. Privacy for each one.
Offlined es solo almacenamiento local bajo tu control, como un disco duro externo o un NAS. La app no aloja ni distribuye contenido de terceros, trae algunos archivos de ejemplo solo para mostrar cómo funciona inicialmente.
Lo que guardes después es responsabilidad tuya, igual que con cualquier dispositivo.
The idea behind Offlined is simple:
Take back control of your digital files and data. Your contacts, photos, videos, music, documents, books, emails, and much more, stored and managed by you, without depending on external services or always being connected.
It also includes tools to work offline and keep everything local: AI (GPT-OSS), Wikipedia, maps, sky, an Office suite, and much more.
Download it and try it at:

Qwen3.8-Max has been published on HF.
A massive model with 2.4T params and 95B activated. Weights ~2.5 GB. You can download here are run on your 20 DGX Sparks.
