Bitwarden caches your vault to your device, so you don’t actually need a live connection to the server.

It’s not a feature I use, but I just tested it in the latest beta release and it worked fine.

I have no idea what point you’re trying to make. That means they have good intentions with the data they’re collecting about the users of their mobile apps?

I run deepseek locally so obviously I appreciate that they made that decision, but let’s not pretend that something can’t be given away for free with bad intentions. People running LLMs locally are a drop in the bucket compared to people just downloading an app.
