Did you look in the [Flows tab](https://flows.nodered.org/search?term=couchdb&type=node&type=flow&type=collection) of the forum?

[Library - Node-RED](https://flows.nodered.org/search?term=couchdb)

The IBM Cloudant DB is CouchDB compatible I believe which is why most of the nodes are for Cloudant but they should still work with CouchDB.

Actually, you prompted me to get started on something that I've been meaning to get to for quite a long time, a PouchDB node.

Watch out for the initial announcement. The basics are working as a proof-of-concept already.

You will be able to use that to sync data with CouchDB as soon as I've added a few more features. PouchDB is compatible with CouchDB and its derivatives. It handles the data locally with the option to sync to a server.
