To help find relevant RFCs no matter what your network connectivity, https://rfc.fyi now implements a service worker that caches the data locally for offline use, and can be installed as a Progressive Web app (PWA) -- i.e., you can install it to your iOS or Android home screen.
Note that it still points to online-only RFCs at the RFC Editor site.

@mnot heh. In my head the conversation went: Wouldn’t it be worth caching them all offline rather than linking to the site? There can’t be that many and they’re plain text Just how many RFCs are there anyway? There are TEN THOUSAND??? A zip file of all of them, just as text, is half a gig?? OK now I see why mnot did it this way :-)
