remoteStorage

An open protocol for per-user storage on the Web

Webfinger + OAuth + CORS + REST

Own your data

Everything in one place – your place. Use a storage account with a provider you trust, or set up your own storage server. Move house whenever you want. It's your data.

Stay in sync

remoteStorage-enabled apps automatically sync your data across all of your devices, from desktop to tablet to smartphone, and maybe even your TV or VR headset.

Compatibility & choice

Use the same data across different apps. Create a to-do list in one app, and track the time on your tasks in another one. Say goodbye to app-specific data silos.

Go offline

Most remoteStorage-enabled apps come with first-class offline support. Use your apps offline on the go, and automatically sync when you're back online.

For App Developers 🚧

Backend as a service

Develop your web app without worrying about hosting or developing a backend for it. Your users will connect their own backend at runtime. No more worrying about accounts, databases, passwords, etc.

Infinite scalability, zero cost

No matter if 5 hundred or 5 million people are using your app, your backend scales automatically and never costs you a single cent.

JS client library

remoteStorage.js is a JavaScript/TypeScript library that does the heavy lifting to add offline storage and cross-device synchronization to your apps.
