What it is

Posnic POS is a local-first point-of-sale application for retail shops and restaurants, with optional paid cloud services. Its documented workflows include sales, returns, customer records, taxes, reporting, stock, purchases, stock logs, and price lists. The free Community Edition costs nothing and can be installed on Windows, macOS, or Linux, or self-hosted on an owned Ubuntu server for browser access over a local network. The desktop database and API run on the shop computer, and local billing can continue offline after Cloud setup. Posnic Cloud offers synchronization, off-site backups, and remote dashboards; its prices vary by country and billing period. The maker offers custom accounting and e-commerce integrations and free migration from named systems or Excel. The local edition needs no Posnic account and, according to the maker, sends no analytics or business-data telemetry to Posnic. Its desktop source is published under AGPL-3.0-only. The maker says it has not commissioned an independent security audit and that its hardware checks did not connect physical peripherals.
