FCModel is an Objective-C model layer on top of SQLite, offering a Core Data-like convenience while allowing direct SQL access, custom schemas, indexes, and migrations. It maps SQLite tables to model subclasses with property-to-column associations and is used in production by the author's app Overcast.

Use cases

• replace Core Data with direct SQLite access in an iOS app
• map SQLite tables to Objective-C model objects
• run raw SQL queries while keeping an object model layer
• control database schema, indexes, and migrations manually
• build a lightweight persistence layer for Mac or iOS apps

When to choose

• you want Core Data convenience but full control over SQL, schemas, and performance
• your team prefers writing raw SQLite queries and migrations
• you need a simple, lightweight ORM-style layer in Objective-C

When to avoid

• you want a fully supported, documented framework with stable API guarantees
• you need Swift-first or cross-platform persistence
• you prefer Core Data's ecosystem features like iCloud sync
