Tap Forms: The Digital Filing Cabinet for Your Life [Sponsor]
Tap Forms is a powerful Mac and iOS app for organizing anything and everything in one place. It’s a customizable database app that’s simple to use, but best of all, scales to fit your needs as they grow.
Whether you’re organizing your comic book collection, recipes, work documents, or business inventory, Tap Forms can help. The app is secure, searchable, and accessible from any Mac or iOS device via iCloud, IBM Cloud, Apache CouchDB, and WiFi sync, so you always have your data with you. Tap Forms also features support 7 days a week via email and its forums.
To get you started quickly, Tap Forms has dozens of pre-made, customizable forms. Of course, you can also build a form from scratch too. There are also 26 built-in field types that can be added to forms including Text, Number, Note, Calculation, Script, Photo, Location, Contact, Table, and Link to Form.
Tap Forms is just as powerful at using the data it collects. Records can be viewed in List, Multi-Column, Map, Calendar, and Photo Grid views. You can also generate 24 types of barcodes and print labels.
This fall, when macOS Mojave and iOS 12 ship, Tap Forms will gain fantastic new features including:
- Dark Mode and Apple Script support on the Mac
- JavaScript support for scripting actions on your form data
- A Script field type
- Siri Shortcuts on iOS 12 for running Form Scripts in Siri without launching Tap Forms
For this week only, Tap Forms 5 is available for 30% off the Mac and iOS versions. Don’t miss this chance for a great deal and to get organized today with Tap Forms.
Our thanks to Tap Forms for sponsoring MacStories this week.
