Same request, same model, once with the skill and once without. Read both and judge for yourself.

“Write a LinkedIn post announcing that we shipped offline mode for our note-taking app. About 150 words.”

Source material given with the request

App: Fieldnote, a note-taking app for field researchers. New: offline mode. Notes, photos and GPS tags save on the phone and sync when the phone reconnects. Built by a team of 4 over 3 months. Most requested feature in our 2025 user survey (612 responses). Available today on iOS and Android, free plan included.

with the skill

We’ve shipped offline mode for Fieldnote, our note-taking app for field researchers. You can capture notes, photos and GPS tags without a connection. Fieldnote saves them on your phone and syncs them when your phone reconnects. You can keep recording observations without waiting for a signal. Offline mode was the most requested feature in our 2025 user survey, which received 612 responses. If you took the time to ask for it, thank you. Your feedback helped our four-person team choose what to build. We spent three months building this release for the work you do in places where you can’t count on reception. You shouldn’t have to plan your note-taking around network coverage. Starting today, you can use offline mode on iOS and Android, including on the free plan. Try it on your next field visit. We’d like to hear how it fits into your research workflow.

without

Fieldwork doesn’t stop when the signal drops. Now, neither does Fieldnote. Today, we’re launching **offline mode on iOS and Android—including the free plan.** You can capture notes, photos, and GPS tags without a connection. Everything saves on your phone and syncs when you reconnect, so you can keep your attention on the research—not on finding a signal. Offline mode was the most requested feature in our 2025 user survey, with 612 responses. To everyone who shared how connectivity affects their work: thank you. Your feedback helped us decide what to build next. Our team of four spent the past three months bringing this to life, and we’re excited to get it into your hands. Whether your next research session takes you beyond cell coverage or into a building with unreliable reception, Fieldnote is ready to come along. **Offline mode is available today.** We’d love to hear where you take it.
