>But consider a personal finance app. The main goal is cross device sync, cloud backup, offline capable, etc. In this case having the entire db stored on every device is probably what you want.

A bit confused by this. If I'm a developer of a PFM, I don't want anything but a single user's financial data synced to their device. This sounds like partial replication to me.

Precisely. In the SQLSync model - every user would have a private database just for their data. For example, this is how the todo list demo works: https://sqlsync-todo.pages.dev

(Note: currently SQLSync's server tier doesn't support auth, just random 128bit ids. Auth will come as it matures - but don't use this for anything super secure at the moment).
