    Hi @RaviKiran Pantangi ,

    Thanks for your question.

    The SQLite database engine is the recommended approach for local data storage in .NET MAUI apps. Microsoft has dedicated official documentation and training specifically for using SQLite in .NET MAUI apps. It allows you to load and save data objects directly in shared code across Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS, using a lightweight and reliable engine that integrates smoothly with the platform. You can also use Entity Framework Core (EF Core) + SQLite if you want something even closer to how you worked with Realm.

    I hope this addresses your question. If this response was helpful, please consider following the guidance to provide feedback

    The main alternative for a local db is SQLite, but it’s relational rather than NoSQL. as there is no common SQLIte library for IOS and Android, you probably want to use EF core for SQLite
