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.
Webfinger + OAuth + CORS + REST
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.
