About ObjectBox

ObjectBox is a company that helps App & IoT developers develop faster apps by ensuring data is where it is needed when it is needed. ObjectBox is optimized for small connected devices. Our users are the developers of mobile and IoT apps. If you are not that technical, think of it as a Dropbox for App & IoT developers running in the background of the application. Mobile and IoT Developers use it within the app to ensure the app end users always have the latest data. At the core of this solution lies our mobile database, which is 10x faster than the industry leader SQLite and which only takes 1/10th of the code (LOC) to implement.

We are also the team behind the open source projects greenDAO and EventBus, which are used by >30% of the top-500 apps on Google Play. To give some examples: Pinterest, Booking, Snapchat are all using our prior libraries in their apps.
