Data Manager Classic
Personal database manager
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Database Manager is the personal database app for your own data — books, cocktail recipes, birthdays, car expenses, credit cards, travel packing lists, whatever you need.
You define the tables, fields and relationships yourself — no spreadsheet hacks, no cloud account required, no ads. Everything stays on your device.
FEATURES
• 16 field types: Text, Number, Date, Time, Checkbox, Combobox, Link, Image, Location, Rating and more
• Unlimited databases, multiple tables per database
• Relational references between tables
• Sort, group, filter, totals and group subtotals
• Per-field display settings (visibility, color, font size, order)
• CSV import / export — compatible with the original data format
• Password protection and optional per-field encryption
• Image attachments inside records
• Custom background image and theme per database
• Built for large datasets (tested with 5,000 entries)
19 EXAMPLES INCLUDED
Books, movies, contacts, birthdays, bookmarks, car expenses, cocktails, shopping lists, credit cards, travel packing and more — ready to use as templates or just to explore the app.
YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU
No sign-up, no account, no tracking. Optionally encrypt individual fields with a passphrase you choose.
HERITAGE
Database Manager is a direct port of the original webOS app "Database Manager" (VivaLV Software, 2012), rebuilt natively for iPhone and iPad.

Entries that stay unique
• Mark a field — or a combination of fields — as having to be unique. Open a
table for editing and choose "Add unique constraint". A name on its own, or
first and last name together: whatever makes an entry one of a kind for you.
• Duplicates are marked in the list and in the entry editor, and you are asked
before you leave an entry that collides with another.
• Nothing is refused and nothing is deleted. The rule points problems out;
entries you already have stay exactly as they are.
Numbers in your own format
• Decimal commas now work end to end. Typing 3,6 keeps 3,6 — in the list, in
the totals, and in the field itself. Until now a comma was read as nothing at
all: totals, sorting and statistics silently skipped the value. Numbers you
have already entered start counting after the update, with nothing to
re-enter.
• Thousands separators follow your region too, so a total reads 1.234,50 rather
than 1,234.50.
Images
• Tap an image to open it full screen. Pinch to zoom, save it to Photos, or
share it.
• Images are now included when you share a database and come back with it when
someone imports it.
• Pictures you add from your photo library are converted to a format the app
can always display, whatever your camera saved them as.
Also new
• Target value with a progress bar for total columns
• Automatic numbering for number fields, including when duplicating an entry
• Default values matched to the field type, with a date picker and so on
• Long database names are no longer cut off at the top of the screen
• The bundled example databases are now fully German, down to the sample
content inside them, and permission prompts appear in German as well
