PortaBase

A cross-platform personal database application

PortaBase (portable database) is an app for conveniently managing one-table database files. It can be used as a shopping list, password manager, media inventory, financial tracker, TODO list, address book, photo album, and more. It is available for many platforms, including Android, Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.

The main features PortaBase currently has are:

• String, Integer, Decimal, Boolean, Note (multi-line text), Date, Time, Calculation, Sequence, Image, and Enum column types

• Add, edit, and delete rows of data

• Custom data views (subsets of the columns in any order)

• Filter the displayed rows using sets of conditions

• Sort the rows by any combination of columns, each in ascending or descending order

• Add, delete, rearrange, and rename columns at any time

• Specify default values for columns

• View summary statistics for columns (total, average, min, max, etc.)

• Data file encryption

• Slideshows of the images in a column matching the current filter

• Simple calculator widget for entering numeric data

• Optional fullscreen mode

• Import data from CSV, XML, and MobileDB files

• Export data to CSV, HTML, and XML files

• UI translations for 8 different languages

• User-selectable alternating row background colors

PortaBase has been used on various mobile device platforms for over 14 years, and hence has an interface which is well-optimized for use on small screens (but scales to work effectively on tablets and large desktop monitors as well).

PortaBase is an open source application; the Linux, Mac, and Windows versions are freely available from http://portabase.org , and any money earned from sales of the Android app will go towards allowing the author to allocate more time towards improving it further.
