> I was convinced that ONLYOFFICE was a online solution only. But in this page (https://www.onlyoffice.com/download-desktop.aspx) they also offer downloadable versions for all operating systems.

The OnlyOffice desktop editors are licensed under GNU AGPL v3, and will run completely offline. To check, recently I installed a fresh installation on a brand new system, and turned off networking prior to opening OnlyOffice for the first time. It ran fine and edited a document with no problems. It does not appear to me that it needs to be online or phone home in order to work.

The OnlyOffice mobile app has a freeware license according to Wikipedia. I have not been able to find a copy of the license, but I'm assuming it's probably incompatible with GPL . This mobile app did not work for me - it either did not open documents, or it did not allow for editing. I recommend the Collabora Office app instead, if you can find a copy of the .apk. It is a version of LibreOffice, so should have the correct license, and it actually works in my experience.
