✅ Features Available Offline

Even when completely disconnected from the internet, Eagle can still run its core local features, including:

Asset management and browsing
Category organization and tag operations
Previewing images, videos, audio, documents, and other local assets
Drag-and-drop files and copy-paste to import assets

⚠️ Important Notes

Eagle uses a local asset library, assets themselves are not uploaded or dependent on cloud storage, so they can be fully accessed and managed even without internet.

For plugin-related features, it's recommended to download and test whether they support offline use in advance.
