    Different devices can be done with any program by putting the files on network storage.

          Then don’t. Use only when you need it, or use literally any other free offering there is. This is not for you.

      Well yeah, assuming you can install it on all devices you would want to use, and that it lets you use network storage, and that the app doesn’t conflict with other apps using the same network storage. A lot of apps don’t have a specific app for Android, Apple, Linux, macos, and windows because that’s a lot to build and maintain. A deployed webapp works on any device with a browser, and you don’t need to configure every device to use the same networked storage.
