Local JavaScript database for offline-first applications
PouchDB
In-browser database that syncs with CouchDB
About PouchDB
A JavaScript database that runs in the browser and syncs with CouchDB and compatible servers, enabling offline-first web applications that store data locally and replicate when online. Because the code is openly available, it can be audited, extended and run on private infrastructure, which makes it attractive to teams with privacy or compliance needs. It is commonly adopted through containers or packages, evaluated against commercial alternatives and kept because it solves a focused problem reliably at scale.
