Access DB lets you import Microsoft Access .mdb and .accdb files directly on iPhone so you can browse, search, and manage your data wherever you are. Scan a source file before importing, review tables and record counts, and choose exactly which tables and columns to bring into the app. Once imported, your datasets are stored locally on your device for quick access. Browse all imports in one place, preview tables a page at a time, and search records using table filters, column filters, and exact-match controls. When you need faster lookups, optimize search by indexing the columns you use most, then manage or remove those indexes anytime. Access DB also gives you flexible dataset management. Keep both copies or replace an existing dataset when file names conflict, then rename, reorder, or delete datasets at any time. Customize the experience with light, dark, or system appearance, adjustable search result limits, card or table result layouts, and preview settings tailored to the way you work.
