Data Jar - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

Data Jar is a data store designed to be used with Shortcuts. The data store lets you persist key-value pairs.

If you have used dictionaries and lists in Shortcuts, then you’ll find that the data format used by Data Jar is very similar.

- Extensive support for Shortcuts, enabling you to read and update data directly from Shortcuts.
- Store text, numbers, booleans, lists, dictionaries and even files.
- Files are stored in iCloud Drive and can be accessed from the Files app.
- Support for multiple windows and drag and drop on the iPad.
- Synchronisation between devices using iCloud.

Data Jar is free to use but contains a tip jar where users can pay a few bucks to support the developer.

Simple but powerful

Really helpful for shortcut users.

besser geht es nicht

genau das hat in shortcuts gefehlt und sogar das design ist toll 👌

Great idea, but …

it would be nice, if the iCloud synchronization would work reliably. Unfortunately, that's not always the case and you don't get an answer to support requests.

:-)

Thank you a lot for sharing this app! My only whish: Supporting WebDAV (or similar) for sharing data between different Apple accounts would be a nice addition :-)

iOS 15 removed all entries in my dictionaries

Nothing more to say.

There’s only one thing how this could become even more awesome:

If it would also provide means to work with SQLite databases, e.g. instead of writing into JSON containers or even text files, let me issue an INSERT statement on a database file. Then let me SELECT data, CREATE VIEWs, etc. The database files itself could/should be accessible via iCloud for easy backup or external manipulation.

Must have app with nasty bug which can result in data lost

Short summary: great app, 6/5 stars worth. But some bug can lead to a complete data lost, therefor only 4/5 stars. Long story: I stumbled upon Data Jar on reddit, cool solution for data storage for shortcuts. As first project I wanted to migrate an existing shortcut which currently uses a Bear Note for storage. Before migrating the main shortcut I created a shortcut for data migration, which runs into problems within Data Jar. The data consists of a Bear note with >300 lines, esch line a json dictionary with 4 keys. The shortcut queries the note, splits the data by newlines and sets the DataJar value to the splitted list. Works fine, but DataJar shows the values for a short time and then loses it completely. It seems to be a sync problem, as the bug only manifests with some amount of data. Smaller tasks produce no problem. Sad thing about the bug: I wrote an e-mail to support, no reaction.

Data Jar rocks !

Together with Scriptable Data Jar brings Shortcut to another level. Thank you, Simon. ... and thanks a lot for your prompt support by email 🙏

Perfect utility app to use with Shortcuts

The app seems to simple on the surface but is pretty damn powerful. I am using it daily and find new use cases every other day. It‘s amazing! I just wish that Siri would not respond at all to the Data Jar actions, but I guess that‘s something Apple won‘t allow?

what was the question?

coffee, a jar full of data and 42, what could be better?
