You seem to want a lot of stuff, the sync stuff is hard... I have a solution to some of this stuff in an OSS library I am developing. The idea is that it does versioning of local data, so you can figure out what has changed and therefore do meaningful sync, which also includes conflict resolution etc. This is sort-of the offline meteor as it is really tuned to offline use (for the London Underground where we have no mobile data signals).

I have also developed an eco system around it which includes a connection manager and server. The main project is at https://github.com/forbesmyester/SyncIt and is very well documented and tested. The test app for the ecosystem will be at https://github.com/forbesmyester/SyncItTodoMvc but I have yet to write virtually any docs for it.

It is currently using LocalStorage but will be easy to move to localForage as it actually is using a wrapper around localStorage to make it an async API... Another one for the list maybe?
