Offline Document Saving and Access (Alpha)

Last updated March 31, 2026·1 min read

Alpha saves all drafts to internal storage, which are then synced to Postbox when connected to Wi-Fi. But you can also access your work offline with the included USB cable.

You will need to make sure you have the most up-to-date firmware in order to access your documents offline via computer/USB cable.

Step 1: Turn on your device.


Step 2: Plug your device into your computer using the included USB cable.

Once connected, you should see a modal pop up on your device indicating that it has connected to your computer.


Step 3: Find your files.

You will now be able to search your PC and find your device listed as "Freewrite" or “Alpha” and assigned to one of the drives.

Inside the “Freewrite” or “Alpha” folder, you will see the documents that you have written on your device. 
Please note that documents are saved as read-only .txt files.

To learn more, please read the "README.txt" file in the device folder.

And, as always, you can write us at hello@astrohaus.com for more help!
