Evolu is a TypeScript library and local-first platform for building apps where users own their data, built on SQLite with CRDT-based sync and end-to-end encrypted backup. It includes a tree-shakable standard library (Result types, structured concurrency, runtime types) and React hooks for reactive local-first queries.

Use cases

• build a local-first app with offline support and online sync
• sync SQLite data between devices with CRDT conflict resolution
• add end-to-end encrypted backup to a React or React Native app
• store user data locally without a backend or vendor lock-in
• use reactive SQL queries with React Suspense
• self-host a relay server for app data sync
• write type-safe SQL with a typed database schema in TypeScript
• use Result types and structured concurrency in idiomatic TypeScript

When to choose

• you want offline-first apps with automatic sync and no backend to maintain
• you need end-to-end encrypted, user-owned data with no vendor lock-in
• you build with React, React Native, Svelte, Vue, or Solid and want reactive SQLite queries
• you want a batteries-included TypeScript standard library with typed errors

When to avoid

• you need a traditional server-authoritative database with multi-user concurrent writes to shared records
• your app requires complex server-side queries or reporting over centralized data
• you need a mature battle-tested sync engine at large enterprise scale
• you are not using TypeScript or a supported frontend framework
