Your Notion databases, one tap away. Nutshell turns the databases you already have in Notion into a fast, focused mobile app. Tasks, groceries, habits, reading lists, projects — whatever you track in Notion, Nutshell puts it on your home screen and gets you in and out in seconds. A TAB BAR THAT'S YOURS Build your own navigation. Each tab on the bottom bar shows a list, a group of lists you pick, or every list from a database — as many or as few tabs as you want. CAPTURE IN SECONDS Add new pages with a quick-entry sheet that feels like a dedicated to-do app, not a document editor. Templates can pre-fill properties for you — a page added from your "Today" list is already dated today. LISTS THAT MATCH YOUR SETUP Filter and sort pages the way you do in Notion, and choose exactly which properties each card shows. No digging through pages to find the view you need. EDIT ON THE GO Check things off, update properties, and append quick notes to a page's content — all without waiting for Notion to load. WORKS OFFLINE Your pages are stored on your device. Changes are saved locally first and synced to Notion; if you're offline, just sync again when you're back. WIDGETS FOR ANY LIST Put any list on your home screen with customizable widgets. Tap an item to open it in Nutshell or jump straight to Notion — your choice. FREE TO TRY, PRO WHEN YOU'RE READY The free version lets you connect one Notion workspace and browse your databases. Nutshell Pro unlocks editing and quick add, home screen widgets, unlimited tabs and workspaces, and every layout — available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. --- Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula Nutshell requires a Notion account.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DHAForms at none against Nutshell's 4. Nutshell's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
