Akavache is an asynchronous, persistent key-value store for .NET desktop and mobile applications, built on SQLite3. It supports storing important data like user settings as well as expiring cached local data, with an observable-first API based on Reactive Extensions.

Use cases

• persist user settings in a mobile app
• cache HTTP responses locally with expiration
• store key-value data asynchronously in a desktop app
• cache images or API data offline in a Xamarin app
• encrypt local app databases
• replace sqlite-net-pcl with direct SQLite access for lower allocations

When to choose

• you're building a .NET desktop or mobile app needing persistent local storage
• you want an async, observable-based cache with expiration support
• you need encrypted local databases via SQLite3MultipleCiphers
• you want AOT/trim-safe serialization with System.Text.Json

When to avoid

• you need a relational database with complex queries and joins
• you're not on the .NET ecosystem
• you need a server-side or multi-client shared datastore
• you want a synchronous storage API
