DevDeck vs Day Base

DevDeck turns your iPhone or iPad into a customizable shortcut deck for your Mac. Launch apps, run terminal commands, trigger multi-step workflows, and organize everything into context-aware decks — all with a single tap. HOW IT WORKS Install the free DevDeck Server on your Mac (via Homebrew or DMG). The app auto-discovers the server on your local network — no manual configuration needed. Scan a QR code or let mDNS handle the pairing. CONTEXT-AWARE DECKS Your shortcuts automatically switch based on the active app on your Mac. Working in VS Code? Dev tools appear. Switched to Zoom? Meeting controls are ready. On Slack? Communication shortcuts at your fingertips. Define rules per app or let AI generate them. AI-POWERED GENERATION Describe what you want in plain English and AI generates commands, full decks, or multi-step workflows. Supports Claude, OpenAI, and local Ollama models. Preview and edit before saving. MULTI-STEP WORKFLOWS Chain actions together with dynamic inputs. One tap to "start my meeting" can open Zoom, snooze Slack notifications, and set your status — all automatically. Template variables let you reuse workflows with different inputs. BROWSER AUTOMATION With the optional Chrome extension, automate web pages directly from your phone — click buttons, fill forms with semantic field matching, and navigate sites. CUSTOM ICONS Use SF Symbols or your own PNG/JPEG images with color tinting. Make your deck truly yours.

Day Base is your database for everything — a simple, powerful place to organize, track, and keep the things that matter. Most apps decide what you can store. Day Base hands you the blueprint: create your own collections, define your own fields, and shape the app around your life instead of the other way around. WHATEVER YOU COLLECT OR TRACK Books, records, and wine. Sneakers and trading cards. Home inventory and warranties. Travel memories and restaurants. Recipes, plants, projects, clients — if you can list it, you can build it. DESIGN YOUR OWN FIELDS Add exactly the fields each collection needs — text, numbers, dates, yes/no, links, single-select, and photos. No rigid templates. Your data, your structure. SEE IT YOUR WAY Browse a beautiful card view with cover images, or switch to a sortable table to scan and compare. Tap any photo for a full-screen look. START IN SECONDS Already have a spreadsheet? Paste a CSV and Day Base builds the fields for you automatically — no setup required. ADD THINGS HANDS-FREE Day Base works with Siri and the Shortcuts app, so you can add or look up records by voice, from the Home Screen, or the Share Sheet — without opening the app. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your data lives in your personal iCloud, synced across all your devices. It's yours, and yours alone. Powerful when you need it. Simple when you don't. Start your first collection in under a minute.
