Yes, you can use Firebase Database with desktop, they do support of java without Android in their SDK as I remember, another question what are your requirements
I support sqldelight recommendation if you really want sql-based local database

My fork at https://github.com/LandryNorris/firebase-kotlin-sdk is a bit out of date, but someone could do something pretty similar pretty easily. I opened a PR, but some changes I’d made were not backwards compatible, so they didn’t accept it upstream, and I never found the time to redo it.
