What it does

The local-first sync framework for Core Data and SwiftData. Sync via iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and more. No server required. No cloud costs. No lock-in.

The local-first sync framework for SwiftData and Core Data. No server to build. No cloud costs. No vendor lock-in. The only sync framework that works with the cloud services your customers already have. iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, pCloud, S3, WebDAV — sync through cloud storage your customers already own. No cloud infrastructure to deploy or pay for. Data lives in your customers' own cloud accounts as opaque files no server can read. No backend to build, maintain, or pay for. Zero recurring cloud costs. Let your customers choose which cloud service to use. Switch backends without changing your app logic. You’re never tied to a single vendor.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
