Currently you can't use Simple Investing mode for offline accounts, but this mode is ideal for offline accounts. Given that offline accounts have to be manually entered a lot of people probably would love to just track the cash and share balances and the current Simple Investing view does exactly that and includes very easy entering of new securities, cash amount, and number of security shares.
The only thing that needs to be done is allow it to be activated in offline mode and not do any downloading.
Example shows how the Simple mode has the ideal setup for this, and where you would go to edit these.
