Collections
Shaped around what you keep.
Start from one of 26 templates or from nothing. Add the fields each collection needs, from text, money and dates to photos, places, ratings and pick lists, and lay out the form the way you'd fill it in.
Views and dashboards
See it as a table, a gallery or a map.
Switch between a table, cards, a photo gallery and a dashboard of charts, totals and maps. Group and total like a spreadsheet, then print it as a report.
Search and smart lists
Find anything in a moment.
Search every collection at once, or narrow one down with rules like "rating at least 4 and region is Rioja". Keep the ones you use as smart lists in the sidebar.
Relations and formulas
Link what belongs together.
Connect customers to their orders, rooms to what is in them, books to the shelf they sit on. Calculated fields add up prices, count days and total across relations.
Import
Bring the data you already have.
Import CSV and Excel files, photos included, from a spreadsheet or the database app you use now. RafiBase reads each column, guesses its type and shows you the result before anything is added.
iPhone and iPad
The same library, in your pocket.
Every collection, photo and change, on every device. Scan a document, take a photo of something new, or add a record where you are, and it is on your Mac a moment later.
Safe by design
Nothing is ever silently lost.
Undo works for everything, even an import. Deleted records wait in Trash for 30 days. Every change to a record is kept for 90 days with a Restore button, and RafiBase backs up your library every day.
Private
Your data stays yours.
In your own iCloud
Your library syncs through your private iCloud database, encrypted so only your devices can read it. There is no RafiBase server.
No account, no tracking
Nothing to sign up for. RafiBase collects no analytics and shows no ads.
Always yours to take
Export to open formats any time, or keep a readable copy of everything in a folder on your Mac.

Questions
Is RafiBase a subscription?
No. Everything works free for 30 days, then you unlock it once for $39.99. Every 1.x and 2.x update is included.
What happens if I don't unlock it?
Your library becomes read-only. You can still open, search, export, print, back up and sync everything. Only adding and changing records stops, until you unlock it.
Do I need an account?
No. RafiBase syncs through your own iCloud account. There is no RafiBase account, no server of ours, and nothing to sign up for.
Can my family use it?
Yes. The unlock is shared with everyone in your Family Sharing group.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Your library lives on each device, and changes sync when you are back online. If two devices change the same record, edits to different fields both survive.
Can I get my data out?
Any time. Export a collection to CSV, Excel or JSON with its photos as files, or the whole library as one archive. You can also keep a readable copy of everything in a folder that updates itself.
I use another database app or spreadsheets. Can I move?
Export each form or sheet as CSV or Excel, then import it into RafiBase. Photos come along when their file names are in a column.
What do I need?
A Mac, iPhone or iPad running macOS 26 and iOS 26 or later.
