Description

Your digital filing cabinet for life’s scattered details.

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 Mac (iOS + Apple Watch app sold separately).

How can one app organize everything? Because not only can you use and customize the 33 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.

+++ Mac Format Magazine - comparing Tap Forms to other organizational programs:
"Tap Forms is the clear winner by a mile. The user interface is beautifully Mac-like, the structuring of data is similar enough to Bento that it offers only a shallow learning curve, it offers a direct import of Bento templates, and the iOS companion app is great."

• Capture your way: add a picture, type some text, attach a file — there are 25 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, 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. Exporting allows you to share with Mac, Windows, and Linux users.

Superb database for macOS with excellent syncing to iOS

Tap Forms is the best, most customisable personal database app for macOS (and iOS too). It's a great replacement for those that were using Bento. I was able to export all of my data from Bento (inc. images) and then import in to Tap Forms. The app supports syncing with other devices via IBM Cloud, iCloud and local WiFi. Tap Forms supports numerous different field types including encrypted and calculated fields (which allows you to perform automatic calculations using the values of other fields on your form e.g. "[Total] - [Deposit]".

The custom layout functionality is really brilliant. Now you can customise the layout of your forms as much as you like. And you can also create multiple layouts per form - one for the screen and one for printing, for example.

The developer is very responsive and helpful and provides great support via email and Tap Forms own forums. The is frequently updated with new features and support for new versions of macOS and iOS. Highly recommended! +++

Very happy with this database.

I have been using Tap Forms 5 for just over a month now and I am very pleased to have chosen this database app for a number of reasons. Firstly, I have found it to be very stable and reliable. On the one occasion that I was unable to manage something (a problem that arose because of my inexperience rather than because of any deficiency in the app), my email to the support address was answered very helpfully and very promptly. One of the reasons that I choose to try out this app was its ability to produce customised reports. I have been very impressed by the capability and flexibility available when working in layout mode on design of the reports - very intuitive and plenty of options. All in all, I have made a most positivestart with Tap Forms 5 and I am very confident that it is going to meet all of my needs with respect to databases.

Brilliant

I have used Tap Forms for a number of years both for personal inventories and for larger projects. In particular I have built up a database to manipulate the data associated with the running of a yearly local art exhibition. It has enabled me to keep track of the personal information of the artists, the artwork they submit each year, fees paid and to calculate the amounts owing to them (after deducting commission) should they sell any work. Labels to identify the paintings, and spread sheets to produce a catalogue have all been easily produced once the data has been entered. All-in-all a very versatile and satisfying programme to use. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Equally important, I have received rapid and helpful advice through the on-line forum or via email when I have been trying to push my skill to the limit.
