Personal database reinvented
Formbook: the 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 useful, hoping for more search possibilities

Very easy to use and just what I need to organize my music lessons by concepts, subjects, and dates. I can even add a long text document to each entry. And I love that I can print out an entire "notebook." I wish that I could sort each notebook by the date on the note or by the first word in each of the fields. like I can do on a spread sheet. I hope that feature is coming. This app has tremendous potential.

One fatal flaw for me, unfortunately

First, I think this is a great app with a nice balance of simplicity and functionality. This app also addresses a sorely needed use case in the Apple ecosystem. There just aren't many personal database options out there. Unfortunately for me, being able to attach files to a notebook is a MUST HAVE. Without it, this is a non-starter. I'm hoping it gets added in the future. I've tried other apps in the app store (which I won't name) which provide this functionality via icloud folder storage, but they're approach to linking records is so clumsy that I can't recommend their solution either. Do you anticipate file attachments on your future roadmap?

Easy Way to Bring Database Form Functionality to iOS Devices

Building multiple notebooks for my projects is super easy. I do wish it were possible to attach PDF file types. I would also love to be able to browse and attach from on this device and cloud locations.

Lots to like ... but major caveat

Not a fan of the direction of artificial integration it has taken. Not everyone is a huge fan. Something we should be thinking about soberly ... At least give us the option to disable it. Paranoid? Lol. Don't you think it's something we should be thinking about? ... or just irresponsibly run wild with it? Give us the OPTION to say no, or I guess I have the option to say no to the APP altogether. But that would be a crying shame. Nothing personal to the developer, but let us have the freewill choice whether we want it or not. That's why I haven't updated since you first released the version with it in it.

Promising

This is a promising, but having to "Buy" to unlock the Additional Fields Pack, which I've already bought, every time the app updates is a royal pain! Surely the developer can find a better way...

Nice app, needs more computation

Nice app. Supposedly privacy preserving, can export your data for using elsewhere... But if you are here to really manage your data / process, you will run into gaps quickly. Dev, perhaps consider... - date math in calculated fields (i.e. 'days to arrive' based on 'order date' minus 'arrival date'). right now you can only do math on number fields. - system variables (i.e. 'days until harvest' based on 'today's date' minus 'expected harvest date'). no way to implement as far as i can tell. - more complex reporting functions, such as 'average germination rate' not being the average of my germination rate field (this is possible today, but 'wrong'), but 'sum of all germinated' divided by 'sum of planted' across all notes in a notebook - dynamic fields, where if a condition is met, the field appears, otherwise, it is hidden. (consider the 'days until harvest' 10 years from now, we would have huge negative numbers here, unless we could say 'disable if 'harvested?' = yes, or something along those lines. or how about 'if the user said x, then they also should be asked to provide y?) - minor graphical glitches resolved. unsettling to have obvious bugs where something important may be managed. - moving 'groups of fields' at once. maybe by section, if using the section functionality.
