-Your app reads and writes directly to this local database, so it responds instantly and stays fully functional without a network connection.
+Your app reads and writes directly to its local database, so user interactions feel instant and your app continues to work even when offline. PowerSync syncs changes to and from your local database, so updates appear across users and devices in real-time.
 
 PowerSync is made up of the PowerSync Service and a set of client SDKs. The PowerSync Service replicates data from your backend database, partitions it based on what data each user should receive, and streams real-time updates to clients through the PowerSync client SDK.
