the thing why asking is, there shall unique way enter data mobile applications, browser apps or desktop apps. whats best use there?

i think hit nail on head. rest api great way write data database both mobile , desktop applications.

for desktop have many options, on mobile front, comes down 2 choices reading/writing:

1. an embedded database
2. a web service

even though there options sync/replicate data on mobile device embedded, option 2 easier.
