Unreliable System
Been using Data Jar for over a year and suddenly half of my tables disappeared for no reason. There’s no mechanism to restore to a previous sync. The only option is to manually export your data after every change and restore from a saved manual export. In this day and age, how is a manual export the only option. Use this at your own risk, knowing that your data will just randomly disappear at some point in the future.

Can’t set a simple Boolean in shortcuts
It can read booleans just fine, but trying to set one makes me use the file picker?
So helpful
Amazing app, can do so much more with shortcuts that seemed impossible (or incredibly complicated) before. Thank you so much for making this.
Security risk
This app represents a security risk when combined with shortcuts. Recommend that you do not install.
Best Companion App for Complex Shortcuts
As someone who builds complex automations in iOS Shortcuts, Data Jar has become an essential part of my workflow.
It allows me to store and manage structured data in a clean, reliable way — which unlocks a whole different level of power when building dynamic, multi-step automations. If you’re working with advanced variables, persistent data, budgeting systems, API calls, or custom workflows, this app dramatically expands what’s possible.
Cloud sync has been seamless across my devices, which is huge when working between iPhone and iPad. Everything stays consistent and reliable.
Looking forward to future enhancements, but even in its current state, this is easily the most powerful data companion app for iOS Shortcuts.
Highly recommended for serious automation builders.
