What Tap Forms Pro is
Tap Forms Pro is a personal database app for organizing accounts, projects, expenses, inventory, recipes, and other information. Custom forms can hold text, numbers, dates, notes, photos, audio, signatures, file attachments, tables, calculations, scripts, and links to other forms. Drag-and-drop tools let users create layouts for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. The Mac app can customize and print reports and PDFs. Sync options include iCloud, Dropbox, WebDAV, and nearby-device transfer; nearby sync does not send information over the internet. The maker describes local storage, encrypted sync, encryption, and password protection. AI form generation requires your own ChatGPT or DeepSeek API key. The app can import Bento data on Mac. It supports team collaboration and provides email support, manuals, and tutorial videos. Tap Forms Pro runs on iOS and macOS, with listed App Store requirements including iOS 16.6 or later and macOS 13.5 or later. There is no free plan or lifetime option.
