Build offline Anvil app

Anvil Q&A

Hi, is it possible to build a totally offline Anvil app?

The docs talk about the techniques used: Anvil Docs | Offline Apps

I guess it was this statement that made me think this wasnt applicable:

Anvil apps can function offline. In other words, an app’s client-side code will continue to work if the device loses its internet connection.

In my mind, I’m hoping to deploy an app that is completely offline. I’m at a corporation that will never let something be ‘online’ without a zillion approvals. I love the anvil workflow / library etc though, so was hoping to use it to build a kind of ‘shortcut on users desktops’ internally (if that makes sense).

For example, I could use Tkinter, but I really wanted to use the Tabulator / built-in event handling that Anvil makes so easy.

Sounds like you might need Anvil Enterprise. This gives you the full IDE, one-click deployment, and runs entirely within your network (i.e. without being ‘online’ on the public internet).

Websites were always meant to be online. Only the recent developments allows them to run offline. I don’t think Web Applications are suitable for your requirements.
