Best database solutions for real-time sync in macOS apps
◆ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
For local-first macOS apps with real-time sync, CloudKit remains the native choice but PowerSync and ElectricSQL are emerging as strong alternatives with better offline-first guarantees and cross-platform support.
◆ KEY FINDINGS
• CloudKit: Best Apple ecosystem integration, free tier generous, but lock-in risk
• PowerSync: Postgres-backed, excellent conflict resolution, growing Swift support
• ElectricSQL: SQLite-based sync, open source, early but promising
• Realm: Mature but MongoDB-owned, pricing concerns for scale
◆ RECOMMENDATION
For a macOS-first app with potential cross-platform expansion, evaluate PowerSync. It offers the best balance of developer experience, offline-first architecture, and escape hatch flexibility.
