Description
Tap Forms 5 is the digital filing cabinet for life’s scattered details. Now with Scripting and Siri Shortcuts support!
Accounts, recipes, expenses, inventory — life is full of things that we don’t want to forget or misplace. Tap Forms 5 helps you organize all kinds of things in one place — secure, searchable, and accessible on your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch (Mac app sold separately).
How can one app organize everything? Because not only can you use and customize the more than 30 built-in templates but you can create your own “forms” for inputting any kind of information, even if that information includes pictures, doodles, audio recordings, calculations, file attachments, ratings, or even links to other forms. This makes it almost like building your very own customized organization app.
• Capture your way: Snap a picture, type or scribble some text, record an audio note, scan a barcode — there are 23 different types of information that can be captured with Tap Forms
• Organize your way: Create and design custom forms exactly how you want to for optimal organization. Get started with one of our ready-to-go form templates, or easily make a custom one from scratch with our integrated form building tools.
• Store confidential data with confidence: Tap Forms' security settings let you optionally require a password or a Touch ID scan, and even auto-lock when idle for a custom period of time. Using AES encryption, you can rest easy knowing your data is safe and secure.
• Import, Export, Share: It’s easy to import your data from existing files, so getting started is a breeze. Import your data from text, CSV, Bento and more. One-tap exporting allows you to share with Mac, Windows, and Linux users.
Advanced Features:
• Scripting support for writing JavaScript code for performing all kinds of operations on your forms and records.
• Siri Shortcuts let you record a voice command to execute any Form script.
• Multi-column (table) view of your records.

What’s New
Version 5.3.36
Fixed an issue with saving date values on iPad in split view slide over mode. Tap Forms was closing the document instead of going back to the record edit view.
Ratings and Reviews
Simple yet do everything database
I have been a user and builder of various including FileMaker Pro over the years and while having simple database fields to collect values was easy, the difficult stuff (linked forms, scripting etc) became very difficult if not impossible.
FileMaker Pro is a very nice tool, but the cost of ownership puts it out of the league of the ambitious home user and building a simple app that could collect data on the iPhone / iPad and then sync with the MAC became even more expensive, then I discovered TAPFORMs.
The functionality of the product has gone from strength to strength over the many years I’ve used it and moved with the various upgrades. TAPFORMs is a first rate product with all the functionality you could wish for.
I use it to record vehicle fuel consumption on my iPhone at the fuel station, but in particular for my Home inventory. The linked forms capability allows me to enter insurance and location details once only and always have them referenced against an item. I also use the JavaScript to update my calendar to notify me when a warranties item is due to expire.
It does what it says on the tin. Great product!
Finally, no more Filemaker Misery
I am thrilled after using this app for a few hours, I initially took one star off the review score only because repeated attempts to join the Tap Forms online community failed, making it impossible to access some templates and ask stupid questions of experienced users! The developer got in touch straight away to sort the problem out, so I bumped it up to 5 stars, thanks.
I used to love FileMaker when I was a full time student and I could justify the quasi annual upgrade costs but after finishing my IT “career” due to much of our work in Australia being outsourced for about $10 per hour I discovered that finding the money every year or so became a source of pain and misery.
I have only just begun to use Tap Forms 5 and I am very happy and quite relieved to find that this app is easy to use, while it seems very different to FileMaker, I’m able to build useful relational files easily and quickly. I find that my tendency to jump straight in and design and build on-the-fly is not overly punished by this app, and I can’t wait to spend some time setting up some databases to run my handyman business.
I can’t think of another app that integrates so well with the Mac/IO S ecosystems and at the price you can get the two integrated apps for, it’s a total no-brainer giving these apps a try if you’re hanging out to dump the FileMaker addiction!

Thanks for your positive feedback! If you email me at support@tapforms.com I'd be happy to help you get your forum account working. Thanks! --- Brendan
What a boon!
I am a medical practitioner and for years I struggled to find a database which would allow me to save key details of teaching cases in an organized, easily searchable database. TapForms 5 does all that and more. Being able to sync via the cloud to my various devices (iMac at home, MacAir at work and IPad on the road) is another invaluable feature. Keep developing this program please. I am now addicted
