DBFlow is a Kotlin Multiplatform ORM for SQLite that uses annotations and a compiler plugin to generate database adapters and a typed query DSL. It targets Android, JVM, iOS, and macOS, with built-in coroutine support and optional encryption via SQLCipher.

Use cases

• persist kotlin data classes to sqlite with annotations
• write type-safe sqlite queries with a dsl instead of raw sql
• share database code across android and ios with kotlin multiplatform
• observe database changes reactively with flows or livedata
• encrypt local sqlite databases on android
• run transactions and migrations for an android app database

When to choose

• you want a fast annotation-based sqlite orm for android or kotlin multiplatform
• you prefer generated code and a typed query dsl over writing raw sql
• you need coroutine-based async database access with reactive observers
• you need encrypted local storage via sqlcipher

When to avoid

• you need a non-sqlite database like postgres or mysql
• you want a stable release - the current version is an alpha
• you prefer a lightweight sql builder without code generation
• your project does not use kotlin
