Description

DataOrganizer is a personal database for macOS. While professional database software may be expensive and complex, DataOrganizer aims not only to be affordable and easy to use, but perhaps even fun.

DataOrganizer is free to download and can be tried out for 14 days with no restrictions. After that, DataOrganizer requires a subscription. Both annual and monthly plans are available.

There are a bunch of things you can do with DataOrganizer. You can…

1. Import existing data from Bento 4 databases, CSV and TSV files.

DataOrganizer imports Bento 4 databases. Because the last version of Bento is a 32-bit app, it will not run on modern versions of macOS. With that in mind, DataOrganizer imports Bento's raw database file, ensuring that importing will continue to work even though system support for Bento has been removed. (Note: Encrypted and Calculation fields are not supported.)

DataOrganizer also imports Comma Separated Values (CSV) and Tab Separated Values (TSV) files.

2. Jump right in with eight ready-made templates.

DataOrganizer includes eight ready-made templates to get you started: Clients, Inventory, Issues, Journal, Membership List, Party Planner, Recipes, and Serial Numbers. Simply select a template and DataOrganizer will generate an appropriate library on the fly.

3. Quickly create your own libraries.

Should DataOrganizer not include a template that fits your needs, DataOrganizer makes it easy to create your own library in minutes.

4. Further organize your libraries using stacks and smart stacks.

If you want a “sub-group” of the cards in a library, you can create a stack or smart stack. A stack is similar to a playlist in Music, while a smart stack is criteria-based and is similar to a smart playlist.

5. Link to Contacts, Calendar, Mail, Photos, and files.

DataOrganizer includes five field types that link to data that is already on your Mac.

7. Link to other libraries using relationships.

Using a Relationship field, DataOrganizer allows for one library to link to another library.

8. Track your locations with Geolocation fields

DataOrganizer includes a Geolocation field that can be used to track locations (latitude and longitude). Geolocation fields can optionally display the recorded location in an embedded map. (Please note that an active wireless connection is required to obtain the current location.)

9. Identify clients or other items with the Account Identifier field type.

Using an Account Identifier field, DataOrganizer can automatically identify cards without any extra work. The account identifier is automatically generated upon the creation of a card.

10. Switch over to the Table and Gallery views

In addition to the standard list view for libraries and stacks, DataOrganizer includes two additional view modes: Table and Gallery.

Subscription??

I like the way you can easily add and move around block and create your own page out of a spreadsheet. Said that, I'm tired of developers that disguise their apps as "services." From a customer perspective there is no reason to pay for a monthly "service" while what we're getting is just a fully functional app. Subscriptions make sense for services that provide weekly or monthly information that constantly changes. But a fully functional app? You can charge for new versions and release free updates for bugs (which shouldn't be there in the first place). But other than that, what exactly I would be subscribing to??

I'm a Believer Now

My first impression using this app wasn't very good. I corresponded with the developer who was very responsive, but I decided to try another app instead. That other app was OK, but I felt drawn back to DataOrganizer again. I gave it another try and I'm glad I did. It's more versatile and powerful than the other app. DataOrganizer has been updated a few times since my first try, and I think the changes have helped. I did encounter a few "harmless" crashes this time while creating a new database, but it took just a brief second to relaunch. Everything was fine with no loss of data or progress. I've had no problems using any database once it's been created. The advantages of DataOrganizer far outweigh the minor inconvenience I've described. Based on the progress since the earlier version I tried using, I expect this remaining issue will get fixed. I intend to stay with DataOrganizer.

Way too buggy

Running an M3 with Sonoma. After trying this out for two weeks, I'm bailing. This is really disappointing because I tried really hard to justify keeping it, but there are simply too many bugs. The app crashes constantly, which is the biggest red flag you can get (I mean, what app is crashing three times an hour in 2025?) I've also spent way too much time in trial-and-error mode to learn the basics of how it works (there is no manual and only a handful of very brief videos to get you started). I hate this because I haven't found anything else that would suit my needs so perfectly. I understand this is a small company, and I really want to support that, but I can't afford to spend the time this app requires, especially when it comes to re-entering lost data. The company should find some good investors so they can hire the talent needed to bring this up to speed. The search continues...
