IceCream is a Swift library that syncs a local Realm database with Apple's CloudKit service. It provides automatic, offline-first data synchronization across iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS apps.

Use cases

  • sync realm database with cloudkit
  • offline-first mobile app with icloud sync
  • keep local data in sync across apple devices
  • sync realm objects to a private cloudkit database
  • automatic background data sync for ios apps

When to choose

  • your app uses Realm and you want free iCloud-based sync on Apple platforms
  • you need offline-first storage with automatic background syncing
  • you want to avoid running your own sync backend for an Apple-only app

When to avoid

  • you need cross-platform sync beyond Apple devices
  • your app uses a database other than Realm
  • you need server-side control or non-iCloud cloud storage
