## What is Tap Forms Organizer 5 Database?

Tap Forms 5 is the digital filing cabinet for life’s scattered details. Now with Scripting and Siri Shortcuts support!

Accounts, recipes, expenses, inventory — life is full of things that we don’t want to forget or misplace. Tap Forms 5 helps you organize all kinds of things in one place — secure, searchable, and accessible on your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch (Mac app sold separately).

How can one app organize everything? Because not only can you use and customize the more than 30 built-in templates but you can create your own “forms” for inputting any kind of information, even if that information includes pictures, doodles, audio recordings, calculations, file attachments, ratings, or even links to other forms. This makes it almost like building your very own customized organization app.

• Capture your way: Snap a picture, type or scribble some text, record an audio note, scan a barcode — there are 23 different types of information that can be captured with Tap Forms

• Organize your way: Create and design custom forms exactly how you want to for optimal organization. Get started with one of our ready-to-go form templates, or easily make a custom one from scratch with our integrated form building tools.

• Store confidential data with confidence: Tap Forms' security settings let you optionally require a password or a Touch ID scan, and even auto-lock when idle for a custom period of time. Using AES encryption, you can rest easy knowing your data is safe and secure.

• Import, Export, Share: It’s easy to import your data from existing files, so getting started is a breeze. Import your data from text, CSV, Bento and more. One-tap exporting allows you to share with Mac, Windows, and Linux users.

### 5/5 — Gutes Programm - nutze es seit vielen Jahren

*2026-05-13*

Leider ohne weitere Updates. Die neue Abo-Version ist mir zu teuer. Ich werde bald auf ein anders Programm umsteigen. Das ist sehr schade.

### 5/5 — Tap Forms

*2026-05-12, version 5.3.39*

I have used Tap Forms for some time now and when I lost the program in a computer crash I was devastated. A quick email and my licence was renewed and seamlessly I was up and running again. I use TF on my iPhone, my iPad and my iMac and it is brilliant. Five stars are not enough.

### 5/5 — Archaeological recording with Tap Forms 5

*2026-05-07, version 5.3.39*

This is an excellent recording tool for contexts and finds.

### 3/5 — 検索がダメ

*2026-04-26*

バージョン5にバージョンアップしたら、検索が全然駄目。検索出来ないか、ヒット漏れがあり、使えない。前のバージョンの検索に戻して欲しい。

**Developer response:** My sincere apologies. Tap Forms Pro has a much better search engine for Japanese text. The previous Tap Forms 5 version requires spaces to be between every word in order for search results to be found. But Tap Forms Pro does not require that so searching works much better in Japanese. Thanks! — Brendan

### 5/5 — Keep track of books

*2026-03-11, version 5.3.39*

An avid reader, I use Tap Forms to log books that I have read. My list numbers more than 550 over the last dozen years and this allows me to keep track of authors that I wish to read more of, search by title and also OCR interesting text that I might easily locate and refer to later. 

Plus, I love how Tap Forms syncs my iPhone and MacBook Air effortlessly. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Dank und Empfehlung

*2026-03-10*

Kürzlich habe ich von einer neun Jahre alten Version auf Tap Forms 5  umgestellt. Die Migration verlief ohne Probleme. Alle Fragen zur Orientierung hat das Entwicklerteam wie gewohnt schnell und kompetent beantwortet. Es sind nun schon mehr als 13 Jahre, in denen ich diverse Sachen und Sammlungen in Tap Forms organisiere. Eine sehr erfreuliche Kontinuität. Vielen Dank und meine Empfehlung.

### 5/5 — Gets it done simply

*2026-02-19, version 5.3.39*

Easy to customize to meet your needs and syncs with all your Apple devices effortlessly.

### 5/5 — Excellente appli de base de données

*2026-02-15*

Ça fait des années que j’utilise Tap Forms. Cette application est tout simplement géniale, très intuitive et avec des possibilités que je n’ai pas toutes testées. 
La réactivité du développeur est au rendez-vous. J’ai pu la tester à quelques reprises et je n’ai jamais été déçu, tant sur le temps de réponse que sur la qualité de la réponse. 
Le prix de cette application me paraît tout à fait justifié.

### 5/5 — Have loved Tap Forms for years.

*2026-02-03, version 5.3.39*

Having been able to create my own password, database has made it very easy for me to find passwords in a very short time. The program does sync between different platforms, so I have it on my iPhone, iPad and my Mac. Great program.

### 5/5 — Réactif et sérieux, c’est génial

*2026-01-14*

Ça fait de nombreuses années que j’utilise Tap Forms sur iMac, iPad et iPhone. J’en suis vraiment satisfait pour mon utilisation personnelle. Depuis le passage à IOS 26, mon ancienne version ne fonctionnait plus. Le développeur m’a bien aidé pour la mise à jour. Soyez en ici remercié pour votre réactivité, votre sens pédagogique, votre patience (je ne suis pas ingénieur en informatique) et votre sérieux. Je recommande vraiment cette application
