## What it is
An asynchronous, unencrypted, persistent key-value storage library for React Native apps with a Web Storage API-compatible interface. It supports Android, iOS, macOS, visionOS, Windows, and Web via SQLite or IndexedDB backends.

## Use cases
- persist user tokens in a react native app
- store app settings locally on mobile
- save key-value data offline in react native
- cache small data between app sessions
- store user preferences on ios and android
- local storage for react native web app

## When to choose
- you need simple persistent key-value storage in React Native
- you want a localStorage-like API across mobile and web
- you need batch operations or multiple named databases

## When to avoid
- you need encrypted or secure storage for sensitive data
- you need complex queries or relational data
- you are not building a React Native application

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: database, file-system, sdk
- domain: mobile-development, databases, cross-platform
- platform: windows, browser, cross-platform
- tags: react-native, key-value-storage, local-storage, sqlite, indexeddb, persistence, android, ios, macos, mobile
