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.
