The missing sync layer for modern apps

Build reactive, realtime, local-first apps directly on Postgres.

Craft how data syncs on and off onto your app using Shapes.

Shapes allow you to manage dynamic partial replication between Postgres in the cloud and SQLite in the local app.

const shape = await db.projects.sync({
where: {
owner_id: auth.user_id
},
include: {
issues: {
include: {
comments: {
include: {
author: true
}
}
}
}
}
});
