Your personal archive, always with you. DashBase for iPhone and iPad is the free companion to your archive: read documents, check off tasks, add photos and files on the go - and keep everything that matters in your pocket. RECEIPTS, DOCUMENTS AND NOTES FROM HONESTSCAN • Receive corrected text, every page of the original scan as a PDF, and labelled diagrams. Text and originals stay separate. • Purchase cards link receipts to products, confirmed warranty dates, claims and archive reviews. Contracts have their own date card. • Enlarge the scan and check the details before filing. Reminders use confirmed dates; archive reviews never delete anything automatically. Connecting HonestScan is optional. WHAT IT DOES • A beautiful document reader - Markdown with no syntax in sight, tappable checkboxes, clickable links. • Tasks with due dates - check off, add new ones, and get notified on the morning they're due. • Review mode: select text with your finger and highlight what matters. • Quick note from the field - lands at the top of the document, ready to process later. • Photos and files as attachments, with preview. • Share anything from anywhere: a PDF from Mail, a link from Safari - straight into your Inbox via the Share sheet. • Projects with statuses, Long-term bases, a Timeline with milestones, full-text search. BIG ON IPAD • A three-pane layout just like the Mac - projects, documents and reader side by side. A FAIR DEAL • Free. No accounts, no ads, no tracking, no AI. • Works fully offline; syncs through your own iCloud - the developer never sees your data. MADE FOR MAC • The full live Markdown editor, drag & drop attachments and exports live in DashBase for Mac. iPhone and iPad are your window into the archive - the Mac is the workshop. WORKS GREAT WITH DASHNOTE • Capture quick thoughts in DashNote and send them to DashBase to grow into knowledge. VAULTOFF ARCHIVE AND A CLEARER INBOX • Keep encrypted VaultOff backups and synchronisation packages in a dedicated archive. DashBase carries them between devices through its iCloud sync and lets you hand them back to VaultOff. It cannot read or edit their contents; you keep the keys. This connection is optional: VaultOff also works without DashBase. • Select multiple documents and move them to another project together, including attachments and tasks. • After an import, a confirmation with an Open Inbox action stays visible until you act on it. IDEAS, FEEDBACK AND BUG REPORTS Help make DashBase better. Share your ideas, feedback and any bugs you find on the developer Discord: https://discord.com/invite/UeJEAZWG8T DashNote captures the moment. DashBase turns it into knowledge.
