A lightweight API for storing data without managing a backend.
Finally a database without a backend. Like LocalStorage but persistent and secure. Perfect for indie devs, static pages, prototypes and hobby apps.
”it's like LocalStorage - but better! My static pages now have a database backend!”
“Perfect for my side projects. I didn't want to run a database just to store a few settings.”
“I use it for prototypes, demos, and hackathons. Simple API and super reliable.”
No account to create. Just start storing data in seconds with a on-the-fly generated API key.
Create user accounts and logins with no backend. No databases to create and maintain.
Store and retrieve plain text, JSON documents, configuration files, object serialization.
Each project is protected by an isolated API Key with end-to-end encryption.
Data life-cycle controlled with time-to-live (TTL) rules set by you. Data is purged automatically after period of inactivity.
Data stored with prefs.us is persistent, survives device data wipes, and handles device switching.
let settings = '{ "score":"200", "theme": "dark" }';
prefs_us.key("settings").write(settings);
prefs_us.key("settings").read( (response)=>{ settings = response.value; });
let userData = '{ "score":"200" }';
prefs_us.setItem("user", userData);
prefs_us.getItem("user", (response)=>{ userData = response.value; });
prefs_us.putObject("myObj", objInstance);
prefs_us.getObject("myObj", (response)=>{
let instance = null;
if (response.success) {
instance = response.value;
}
});
A simple dashboard helps you manage your API keys. You can review stored data, monitor data ingress and egress, and other metrics.
Stop worrying about databases for your side projects.
