I haven't actually tested it extensively. Does it work if you start it up without connection?
Nope, that doesn't work yet — and is what I'd consider a true offline mode. Right now if you go offline while using Figma you should be able to do work but the file won't be saving. When you reconnect, we attempt to save the file. However, just because it should work this way doesn't mean it's something we've spent a lot of time supporting, so I don't recommend it because it's possible to lose work.

Have feedback?
I used Figma on a trip and started working on wifi...got on the plane where I did not, and the software seemed to keep working and sync fine when I had wifi again. Did I discover some black magic? Probably only worked because I already had the file loaded. Interested in Dylan's answer as well!
