Postman is a cloud-based product that [syncs](/docs/getting-started/basics/syncing/) your work when you're signed in to your account.

If this doesn't meet your organization's requirements, you might want to explore the below options:

* Working offline using  the  [lightweight API Client](/docs/getting-started/basics/using-api-client/) .

* Using [Newman](/docs/collections/using-newman-cli/command-line-integration-with-newman/) to run collections in a private cloud or internal data centers.

* **Note:** If you’re working from the lightweight API Client, make sure you [migrate to a signed-in account.](/docs/getting-started/basics/using-api-client/#signing-in-to-postman-from-the-lightweight-api-client)

* **Note:** Without using online features, some of Postman's collaborative features, such as Collections, Environments, Postman Mocks, Monitors, and Documentation, won't be available.
