To store data locally on the user device you do not need to implement any auth functionality. To persist data locally on a device you can use any of the following Sqflite [LINK] , Moor [LINK] , Shared Preferences [LINK] , GetX Storage [LINK] I find GetX Storage the easiest way to store data that has no relationships. This is a tutorial on shared preferences: [this video] This is also a tutorial for GetX Storage: [LINK]
