    Thanks for sharing this idea, we appreciate wanting to enable staff to keep working when your internet's down.

    If we were to work on a change like this, we'd have to consider the implications this could have if multiple people worked on the same items while they were offline, and how this data would sync when they reconnected to the internet.

    It's not something we have plans for, but we'll start to track the interest in your idea here, so feel free to share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit. They can add their votes and comments to share additional detail about how this could improve their experience with Xero.

    A Full-Featured Xero Desktop App for iMac with Offline Access

    Xero is a great cloud-based accounting platform, but depending only on web browsers and constant internet access can be risky. I suggest Xero create a native iMac desktop app that matches the cloud version’s features, adds secure offline access, and syncs automatically when the internet is back.

    A dedicated macOS app would help businesses keep running during internet outages, browser problems, or in places with strict network rules. Users could keep invoicing, managing expenses, and checking records without any breaks. It would also solve browser issues (especially with Chrome), boost performance with local caching, and make better use of macOS features like notifications, drag-and-drop, Touch ID, and Apple Shortcuts.

    This kind of app would give users more reliability, better performance, and peace of mind. It would also set Xero apart from other cloud-only options. By offering both cloud and desktop access, Xero could attract power users, Mac-focused businesses, and people in areas with spotty internet, strengthening its reputation as a modern, customer-focused platform.
