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.

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.
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.

Only One Thing Missing
I like the way Formbook formats entries, and it allows me to customize my records. My only criticism is the lack of math functions.
Nice concept
I’ve been looking for a simple, yet customizable, and easy to use database for planning and tracking group Bible studies. I just downloaded this. I like it so far. But I see a few glitches. There are some editing problems. For example, I have separate “notebooks”, which seems to be the equivalent of a table / form. I’ve referenced my Names notebook from my Attendance notebook. When I modify a name in the Names notebook, it doesn’t change in the Attendance notebook. And there’s no unselect. I can recreate a NEW name with the same spelling as the 1st name, and then unselect the original entry in the attendance, but that’s an annoying work-around.
It seems this app has a lot of potential. I’ll continue playing with it for now.
👍❤️This App
Image field, is there a way to add multiple pictures?
Highly recommended this app!!!
Not sure will stay as subscription free for ever.
Thank you developer, you are a saint by design, intuitive UI and generosity, cannot thank enough and many thanks 🙏 again
Currently the best database app for iOS
It’s very good and easy to use. I love the interface and the Mac version is good too. I’d love to see WiFi sync options but other than that it’s a winner.
I finally found the app I needed!
So for I love this app. However, I wish there was a way to duplicate a Notebook. I have hydroponic gardens and need to track the same information for different plants. It sure would save a lot of time!
Application utile
Base de données pratique avec possibilité de masquer certains champs.
Dommage que le tableau obtenu ne puisse être imprimé.
Pas pratique
Pour mon utilisation, c’est une application absolument pas pratique, due à l’impossibilité de voir les fiches en format liste.
Quand vous avez des dizaines de fiches, TRÈS pénible de devoir les faire défiler avec ce format liste de fiche.
Pourquoi ne pas faire un vrai format liste, avec une info ou deux, par exemple, Titre et Auteur uniquement, et quand on veut les détails de la fiche, on clique dessus, comme le font les applications de gestion de fiches.
Donc, application pas pratique pour être utilisable dans mon cas.
Je ne l’achèterai que quand cette fonction sera implémentée.
