Overview

Features & Capabilities

Collections Database is a flexible personal database app for organizing almost anything. Create custom collections with more than 20 field types, including text, numbers, pictures, selections, dates, passwords, colors, barcodes, and more. Customize field order, display styles, filters, and sorting to create a database that fits your workflow.

Use built-in templates for books, contacts, expenses, subscriptions, credentials, inventory, and school records. Organize information with subcollections and flexible lists, link documents together, calculate values with formulas, and import data from external APIs using JavaScript sources. Pro features include unlimited documents, file attachments, advanced fields, views, grid layouts, and cross-document summaries.

Protect sensitive collections with a password, Face ID, or Touch ID. Password data is encrypted by default, while automatic iCloud Sync keeps your information updated across devices. Apple Shortcuts support helps you extend the app and automate your personal data workflows.

User Reviews

Users praise Collections Database for its powerful flexibility and cross-device iCloud sync without a subscription, enabling customized databases and data management across devices. It offers a solid one-time price, import/export options, and responsive support. However, recurring concerns include a steep learning curve and rough UX, lack of bulk editing or moving capabilities, thin documentation, and iCloud-only sync with limited sharing. Overall, it’s a capable tool best suited for users who can navigate its setup and workflow.
Pros
  • Cross-device sync via iCloud keeps data accessible on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with no ongoing subscription.
  • Extremely flexible and customizable; you can build custom databases, per-collection fields, and formulas.
  • One-time purchase price with no ads or subscription.
  • Responsive developer support; quick responses to questions.
  • Strong import/export capabilities, including CSV import.
Cons
  • Steep learning curve and rough UI; not intuitive for beginners and terms like Indexes vs Search vs Views can be confusing.
  • No bulk edit or move function; no multi-select; reorganizing large collections is tedious.
  • Documentation is thin; lack of a solid user guide and examples.
  • Sync is iCloud-only with limited sharing; this can limit collaboration or cross-platform workflows.

I have been using the app for a while and purchased the Pro license. With recent updates I’ve been downgraded to a free license and the app is pretty much useless now. I can’t restore the purchase either. It does nothing. Very disappointing. I don’t really want to purchase the new Ultra level.

I was excited to use this until I found out I can’t even do 100+ documents before I have to pay for pro. and I was fine, just one purchase but WHY did you have to add ANOTHER purchase. Like 1 was enough. And it’s only 2 dollars more so imagine the people who have to buy it AGAIN.
