How-tos · Gemini

Read Gemini pages offline

Save pages to the SD card, and read them later with Wi-Fi off.

You need an SD card.

  1. Open the page in the Gemini App.
  2. Press s to save it. It is kept with the address it came from and the time it was saved. Saving the same page again replaces it, and says so.
  3. To keep a whole capsule corner, press S instead: it saves the page and the pages it links to on the same capsule, as text only, up to 30, in the background.
  4. Later, offline: open the Gemini App. The start page lists Saved Pages, newest first, grouped by capsule, below your bookmarks. They open with no network.
  5. Links inside a saved page open the saved copy when there is one. Any other link needs Wi-Fi, or says not saved, offline.

Keeping it tidy

  • r refreshes a saved page from the web, and d deletes it.
  • Bookmarks (b) are a list of addresses, not copies: they need Wi-Fi to open.
  • Saved Pages are never offered for deletion by the clean-up. They are in /gemini/saved/ if you want to move them.
  • A file that is not text (a picture, say) is saved to /gemini/downloads/ and cannot be shown on the device.
