A flexible local database for physical things. Design your own schema, attach photos, and reach any record by tapping a cheap NFC tag.
Three steps and any physical object becomes instantly accessible.
Create a Base with exactly the fields you need — text, numbers, dates, photos, checkboxes, dropdowns, even nested sub-records. No template required.
Stick a cheap NTAG213 tag on any object. Tapbase writes a link to the tag in seconds. A QR code fallback works on any phone without NFC.
Hold any iPhone near the tag and jump straight to that record — no searching, no app navigation. Foreground or background, it just opens.
Everything you need to track physical things, nothing you don't.
Design your own fields: text, number, date, checkbox, single/multi-select, photos, and nested sub-records. Schema is data, not code.
Attach multiple photos to any record. Thumbnails load instantly; full images sync through your private iCloud.
All data syncs across your devices via your own private iCloud account. Works fully offline — in garages, storage units, anywhere.
Records are indexed by iOS. Find anything from the home screen search without opening the app.
Clone a ready-made schema for moving boxes, home inventory, collections, or equipment — then customize it your way.
Export any Base to CSV or JSON. Your data is yours — no lock-in, take it anywhere. (Pro feature.)
Anything with a surface you can stick a tag on is fair game.
Tag every box. Record room, contents, and photos. Tap to know exactly what's inside before you open it.
Serial numbers, purchase dates, warranty info, and photos — all one tap away.
Cards, books, wine, vinyl. Custom fields for grades, values, condition, and provenance.
Service dates, manuals, part numbers. Tag the thing, tap to pull up its full history.
Expiration dates, quantities, locations. Know what you have before you head to the store.
Schema is just data — design any database for any physical workflow you can imagine.
Tapbase has no server, no account, and no analytics. Everything you create stays on your device and in your own private iCloud — encrypted and controlled by your Apple ID.
One-time purchase. No subscription. There's no server, so there are no ongoing costs to pass along.
