remoteStorage is a lightweight (~1 kB) TypeScript library that mirrors the localStorage API but persists key-value data on a remote server, so state survives across browsers, devices, and sessions. It includes built-in JWT-based auth, works with any JavaScript stack (React, Next.js, Vue, Node), and ships with an open-source server plus a free hosted community server.

Use cases

• persist user preferences across devices and browsers
• show a welcome modal only once per user regardless of device
• sync feature flags and user flags between browser sessions
• replace localStorage with a remote-backed key-value store
• store app settings server-side without building a backend
• share lightweight state between web and Node clients

When to choose

• you want a localStorage-like API but data must follow users across devices or browsers
• you need a tiny dependency for simple key-value persistence without a full database
• you want self-hostable storage with JWT auth and an MIT license
• you're tracking one-time UI states like seen-modals or dismissed banners per user

When to avoid

• you need relational queries, indexing, or large datasets rather than simple key-value pairs
• you require strong consistency or offline-first conflict resolution
• you're storing sensitive data that shouldn't live on a third-party or simple remote server
• you need high-throughput server-side storage rather than lightweight client preferences
