An Offline Version of the Flash Build.

I realize that an offline version of audiotool gets requested a lot, has been requested for years now.
But I feel like an offline version of the HTML5 build might be a little too hard to keep up to date.
Which is why I personally feel that an offline/ downloadable version of the old Flash build would be much easier to manage.
Being that it is no longer being updated, and the tracks can be converted to work the the HTML5 build, There shouldn't be too much of an incompatibility error.
Maybe whenever you do have your device online, you have access to the sample library, or when you're offline you can import your own samples.
And give it a similar feature to the old android app, Audiotool Sketch, where you can export your track file into your audiotool account as a draft, and modify the track more in Next.
Maybe whenever you connect to your audiotool account through the app, it'll save all of your presets offline so you can access them when you're not connected to the internet.

I don't think that this would make any sense. Even if the old Flash app would be kept around, the current app version is just way too different by now (lots of new devices and features, updated sound generation, etc, etc.) Besides, the migration to Next (or however it's called now) is an unidirectional process. You wouldn't be able to go back to Flash to continue working next time you'd be offline.

An offline Flash-version would have to solve the same problems as the HTML version and maintaining an abandoned technology isn't fun at all. The gap between the current version and the Flash version is already pretty big.

Or, to make it short: Flash is dead.
