A powerful, completely free planner for tasks, projects, goals, lists...your life. It's built around a simple idea: different kinds of thinking deserve different places to live. A passing idea isn't a task. A reference list isn't a project. A note from a meeting isn't something you need to "do." When everything gets dumped into one inbox as a list of tasks, it all starts to feel equally urgent and equally easy to ignore. Outcomes gives each kind of thinking its own home, organized around what you're actually trying to achieve. GIVING YOU A HELPING HAND Many people switch to-do apps time and again, often due to one or more of the following: - Their inbox overflows. - They can't keep up with all the tasks in the app. - They roll over tasks from one day to the next over and over, making their "Today" list overflowing. Outcomes helps keep things in order with the following features: - Catch Up to make processing inbox items quick and easy. - Tidy Up to quickly go through all tasks based on context, providing hints for items that might be stale. - Wrap Up to handle tasks left over at the end of the day. - Fresh Start for any tasks that are left over from previous days. BEYOND TASKS • Inbox for quick capture, with nothing to organize yet. • Ideas as a parking lot for thoughts that aren't ready to become anything. • Lists for the things that aren't tasks -- books to read, gifts to buy, restaurants to try. • Notes attached where they belong, not floating in a separate app. • Today for what you've actually committed to broken into sections that mirror your personal day. BUILT FOR THE APPLE ECOSYSTEM Outcomes is native on iPhone. No separate account required. Spotlight reaches into your outcomes, tasks, and lists. Shortcuts and the Control Center control let you capture without opening the app. Focus Filters keep work and home from spilling into each other. If you've cycled through task managers looking for one that respects the difference between an idea and an obligation, this is built for you.

The personal database that feels like a notes app. Build your own CRM, inventory, contact book, or any other collection in minutes — native, private, and synced with iCloud. Most notes apps give you a blank page. Neatbase gives you structure. Create a notebook, choose its fields, and adding notes becomes as easy as filling out a form. View everything as clean cards or a spreadsheet-style table — sort, filter, and group to see exactly what matters. WHAT WILL YOU BUILD? - A lightweight CRM — leads, deals, follow-ups, activity logs - A home inventory — photos, prices, barcodes - A client directory — tap to call, tap to email - A project plan — statuses, due dates, progress - A content calendar planned around publish dates - An expense log with categories and receipt photos - A library of your books, movies, and recipes — rated and tagged If you can describe it, you can collect it in Neatbase. A FIELD FOR EVERYTHING Choose from 27 field types: text and numbers, currency, dates with reminders, toggles, star ratings, color-coded tags, dropdowns, images, checklists, colors, durations, percent bars, barcodes and QR codes, tap-to-call phone and tap-to-email fields, secrets locked behind Face ID or Touch ID, buttons that open URLs — plus formulas, cross-notebook references, and comment threads with Pro. Change your mind anytime: add, rename, or reorder fields, and every existing note updates instantly. TWO VIEWS, ONE NOTEBOOK Browse and edit in a clean card view, or switch to a full table — resize and reorder columns, edit inline, copy and paste, navigate with the keyboard. Each notebook remembers your view, filters, and sorting. TRULY NATIVE. ACTUALLY FAST. Built in SwiftUI for iPhone, iPad, and Mac — one download covers all three. It launches instantly, works fully offline, and syncs through iCloud. No account to create, no password, no onboarding. Most database apps are websites in a wrapper — Neatbase feels like it shipped with your device. YOUR DATA IS NOBODY'S BUSINESS Your notes live on your device and sync securely through your own iCloud. No tracking, no analytics, no ads. Export everything to CSV anytime — even on the free plan. Your data is always yours. SHARE A NOTEBOOK WITH A LINK (PRO) Send one link and up to 10 people can collaborate in real time — no accounts, no sign-up screens. Shared notebooks are end-to-end encrypted; the server never sees your data. TURN ANY NOTEBOOK INTO A WEB FORM (PRO) Publish a form in a few taps. Anyone with the link can submit from any browser, and responses land in your notebook automatically. Add your logo, pick an accent color, share the link. Perfect for intake forms, signups, surveys, orders, and RSVPs. AUTOMATE WITH THE REST API (PRO) Every notebook can expose its own REST API, with documentation generated from your actual field names. Read and write notes from scripts, shortcuts, and automations. FREE TO USE, FAIR TO UPGRADE Free includes 3 notebooks with 100 notes each, both views, iCloud sync, groups, templates, and CSV export. Neatbase Pro unlocks unlimited notebooks and notes, sharing, web forms, the REST API, and advanced fields — one simple yearly subscription, Family Sharing included.
