Summary
Posnic POS is a point-of-sale application for retail shops and restaurants, designed to keep its desktop database and API on the shop computer. Its documented workflows cover sales, returns, customers, taxes, reporting, stock, purchases, stock logs and price lists. The free edition is available for Windows, macOS and Linux, or can be self-hosted on an owned Ubuntu server for browser access on a local network. Local billing can continue offline after Cloud setup. Optional Posnic Cloud services include syncing, off-site backups and remote dashboards, with prices depending on country and billing period. The local edition needs no Posnic account, and the maker says it sends no analytics or business-data telemetry to Posnic. The desktop source is published under AGPL-3.0-only. The maker offers custom integrations and free data migration from named systems or Excel. It says physical peripherals have not been connected in its checks, no named retail devices are certified, and no independent security audit has been commissioned.
