Notes
Cloud sync: CloudKit mirroring via NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.
Object / document store: Managed object-graph persistence (NSPersistentContainer).
Database encryption: Data Protection (file-protection) encryption at rest; the key is absent from the macOS SDK — macOS stores are not file-protected this way.
In-memory database: NSInMemoryStoreType persistent store.
Schema migrations: Model versioning + NSMigrationManager / mapping models.
Reactive queries / change tracking: NSFetchedResultsController change tracking for UI.
Type-safe queries: NSFetchRequest + NSPredicate typed fetches.
