PersonalProjects vs Day Base

PersonalProjects helps you manage your personal projects from start to finish — whether you're renovating a room, planning a garage sale, building something in the workshop, or tackling any project that has multiple steps and costs. ORGANIZE YOUR PROJECTS Break any project into high-level steps, then break those steps into manageable details. See exactly where you stand with completion percentages at every level — detail, step, and project. TRACK EVERY COST Record costs at the project, step, or detail level. Attach photos of receipts so you always have proof of purchase. Track refunds with negative amounts. See cost totals roll up automatically from the bottom to the top. Categorize spending by Materials, Labor, Equipment, Permits, Rentals, Professional Services, and more. STAY ON TOP OF DEADLINES Set due dates on individual details and get a Dashboard view showing what's overdue and what's coming due in the next 14 days — across all your projects at once. CAPTURE NOTES AND IMAGES Add notes at the step and detail level to capture what’s been done, what’s needed, and what problems came up. Attach images to document purchases, materials, labor, or anything else that benefits from a visual record. GENERATE PDF REPORTS Print or share a professional PDF report for any project. Choose a Full Report showing everything, or a Remaining Work report showing only what's left to do. All steps, details, notes, costs, and images are included. ORGANIZE WITH TAGS Create color-coded tags to organize projects by category or person — Home, Vehicle, Yard, or anyone involved. Filter your project list by tag and status to find what you need instantly. BACKUP AND RESTORE Export all your data to a JSON file and save it to iCloud Drive, email it, or AirDrop it as a backup. Restore from any previous export at any time. Your data is always safe. PERSONAL AND PRIVATE PersonalProjects stores your data privately on your device and in your personal iCloud account. No accounts, no subscriptions, no ads.

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.
