An open protocol for per-user storage on the Web

{: .fs-9 }

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.

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.

Developer library

The remoteStorage.js library does most of the heavy lifting to add offline storage and cross-device synchronization to your apps. No more worrying about accounts, databases, passwords…

Setup

const api = new RemoteStorage();

const client = api.scope('/todos/');

api.access.claim('todos', 'rw');

api.on('ready', function () {
   // ready
});

Write an object

// write `{"id":"alfa","done":false}` to /todos/alfa.json
await client.storeObect('/alfa.json', {
  id: 'alfa',
  done: false,
});

Connect to the Connect Widget UI component

Use our drop-in UI widget for connecting storage accounts.

const widget = new Widget(api);

widget.attach();
