Description

Revolutionary personal database app.

Formbook is a new generation database app in which you create form based notes to easily store information.

Formbook is the perfect app for structured information note taking. With Formbook, notes behave like database forms: create a notebook and define the fields you need to store your information.

Form based notes have amazing benefits:
- Gain a huge amount of time while taking notes as you just need to fill in form fields.
- Instantly obtain chart stats on the data contained in your notebooks.
- Share notebooks for collaboration with other Formbook users.

Here are some usage examples. Create notebooks to:
- Keep track of your progress in sport training.
- Remember your favorite restaurants in places you visit.
- Store your recipes.
- Follow to do tasks.
- Prepare a trip by describing the places to visit.
- Keep track of any object inventory (with barcode reader).

Formbook comes with a powerful dashboard feature that visually displays charts on your data. Personalize your charts and analyse data in detail.

Formbook is cross device: notes are automatically synchronized on your iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch via iCloud.
Formbook is also available on your Apple Watch: access your notes and notebooks directly from you Apple Watch.

Formbook is powered by AI: save time with the new automated form builder. Enter your notebook name and Formbook infers the database fields.

Choose among 30 form field types when conceiving your notebook structure:
- Short text field
- Long text field
- Secret text field revealed by FaceID or TouchID
- Code text field (programming languages)
- Number
- Currency
- Stepper (number)
- Slider (number)
- Calculation (using the data from other fields)
- Yes/No button
- Date and Time fields
- Duration
- Images and photos
- List of elements (with optional checkboxes)
- List of tags
- Rating (with stars)
- Email (with compose button)
- Address (with map access)
- Phone number (with compose button)
- URL (with browse button)
- Barcode and QR code (with scan button)
- Current location (latitude, longitude, address)

Export your notes as PDF file and CSV file to use the data with spreadsheet apps.

Very neat DB-app

If you are looking for an easy-to-use database for your various pieces of information, this app is an excellent suggestion.

It is well crafted an comes in versions for all your devices. Sharing is offered, which I find quite helpful.

I love the simplicity and the neat design and hope the developer will continue to make the app even greater.

Good, easy-to-use, but crashes too often

I spent the day searching for a personal database app for organising my collection of stuff. Finally found this one which (unlike the others, in no particular order):
- doesn't track my data
- doesn't require an iCloud connection
- doesn't crash every time you edit an item
- is able to export to both PDF and CSV

It would be nice to have some more on-screen layout formatting options and possibilities for things like font changes in the PDF - but those are minor issues...

It also has a tendency to crash a little too often when making a new entry. The nice thing is that, when this does happen, the only data you risk losing is the last field you were working on.

Thanks for this!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your comment! The last version released should solve the occasional crash issue you mention.
