It's "local first", not "local only".

Sorry, a "purely local app" isn't "local only"?
Not OP, but no.

IMHO, a fully local app is an app that can run locally with all the functionality, not that it's isolated from everything else.

Browser, email client (running locally on your device such as Mail.app, mutt, Outlook,...), Zed (text editor, runs locally but can check for updates... as can many other modern apps)...

You can hardcode ads into each build that don't need Internet access.
Well if you're gonna get all accurate on me...
