isar VS flutter_local_notifications

I would have appreciated some more details on the benchmark. SQLite has notoriously slow writes in the default journal mode, but proper configuration and WAL/WAL2 mode should be a starting point for any comparison.

It's the first time I've heard of Isar[1] though. I'm always surprised at how many solid-but-underused Apache projects are out there, chugging along.

I have a few flutter projects that have used Hive and have been fairly happy with it (except for a recent schema change that crashed production...but a story for another time), though will need support for more structured queries for a future project. Isar seemed to fit the ticket: made by same developer, nice API, supports queries, etc, except there is an ongoing discussion raising concerns I share. In short, it is not actively maintained, or at least inconsistently maintained. Isar v4 is on the horizon, but not ready for production, while v3 seems to have some serious bugs. It seems like a great project by a talented developer, but having only a single contributor is a serious risk.

Tracking stuff helps me in being motivated and can be the decision point if I do something or not. I'm sure there are some flaws in the app, so I'll be grateful for every feedback. It's written in Flutter. - [Isar](https://isar.dev/) for database. - [Stacked](https://pub.dev/packages/stacked) for the architecture. - [Syncfusion](https://pub.dev/packages/syncfusion\_flutter\_charts) for the charts. Here are some links, if anyone is interested: [Youtube video link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgQUU8AmtkY) [Play Store Link](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vinsho.tally\_tracker)

- Isar for database. I tried sqflite and hive but ended up with Isar.

Hive is a good option. Though I would also suggest checking out isar which is really powerfull offline storage db and its quite fast. Its built by the author of Hive himself so its quite reliable. https://isar.dev/

I'd definitely recommend looking at Isar, https://isar.dev/.

For those who are interested, I have a workaround using the local_notifications_plugin. First of all, fullScreenIntent needs to be turned on. This will launch the application in a full-screen mode if the app isn't currently in use (i.e. the phone is locked). The next thing is to follow: https://github.com/MaikuB/flutter_local_notifications/issues/99 To quickly explain: using getNotificationAppLaunchDetails() in the main() method of your app launch, you can return a boolean on whether the app was launched through the notification. This allows you to route the app like this:

running dart code in background while the app is terminated (e.g. notifications plugin is blocked by flutter https://github.com/MaikuB/flutter_local_notifications/issues/17)
