Offline software changes where responsibility lives.
Check the workflow fit
Choose the app because its records and screens match the work you repeat. Local-first is useful only if the workflow itself is useful.
Plan your backups
Local storage gives you direct control, but it also means you should use the app's export or backup controls and keep copies outside the device.
Use the smallest tool that works
If you only need a price, capacity answer or document, start with a free browser tool instead of adding a full operating system.
