On-device file
Fast local reads and writes
BARQDB PRODUCT
A database built for motion.
Read and write locally, keep results live, and add self-hosted sync without making the network your app’s single point of failure.
Open the quick startimport { Barq } from '@barqdb/barq'
const barq = await Barq.open({ schema: [Task],})
const tasks = barq .objects(Task) .filtered('done == false')DATA FLOW
Four clear parts. No hidden cloud dependency.
Native object model
Schemas in your app language
Optional sync
Partition or flexible subscriptions
Your JWT auth
Identity stays in your stack
CAPABILITIES
Small surface. Serious building blocks.
Local by default
Reads and writes hit the device first, so the app stays useful through slow networks and full outages.
Live object data
Queries stay live and notify your UI when results change. There is no manual refetch loop to maintain.
Vector search on-device
Run filtered, approximate, or exact HNSW-backed nearest-neighbour search over local vectors.
Transactions + relationships
Model linked objects in your app language and commit related changes as one local transaction.
Migrations + encryption
Evolve local schemas and protect database files with keys held outside the data file.
Sync on your terms
Add partition or flexible sync and use JWTs from the identity provider you already trust.
