Listbase features

An overview of what you can build, organise, calculate and share.


Organise

  • Create lists and nested folders; move and manually reorder folders, lists and views.
  • Choose list and view colours, icons and shapes; customise the app tint in Settings.
  • Browse All, Shared and Favourites collections; favourite lists and views.
  • Search folders, lists, views and item contents; return to your previous location.
  • Dedicated iPhone navigation and iPad sidebar.

Fields and items

  • Text, Long text, Number, Date, Time, Yes/No, Choice, Colour, Icon and Multiple Entries fields.
  • Linked List fields target a list or saved view and allow single or multiple selections.
  • Formula, Chart and System fields; System values include Date Created, Date Modified, Today’s Date, ID and Row Number.
  • Field defaults; numeric and date bounds; text-length limits; choice options with colours and icons.
  • Number, currency and percentage display; decimal places and thousands separators.
  • Field icons and groups; reorder, duplicate and convert field types with a warning about existing values.
  • Choose title, subtitle and icon fields; select grouped or plain item layouts.
  • Add, edit, duplicate, search and delete items; item changes save automatically.
  • Optional per-list item notifications using a Date field and either a Time field or a custom time.

Views, filters and sorting

  • Saved views combine items from one or more source lists without moving them.
  • Type-aware conditions for text, numbers, dates, Yes/No, choices, colours, icons, linked items and formula results.
  • Date targets: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow or a specific date.
  • All or Any matching with groups nested inside groups for mixed AND/OR logic.
  • Multiple ordered sort rules for lists and views; choose appropriate directions for each field.
  • Add items from views; a multi-list view asks which source list receives a new item.
  • Quick filters on a list or view, with Clear all and Save as View; export list or view results as CSV.

Formulas and charts

  • Maths: Add, Subtract, Divide, Multiply, Minimum, Maximum, Absolute, Modulo, Power, Round and Average.
  • Round offers Default, Round down and Round up; Average offers Mean, Median and Mode.
  • Text: Length, Concatenate with an optional separator, Substring, String Reverse, Find, Replace and Change Case.
  • Dates: Difference Between Dates, Date Add and Date Index.
  • Logic: Condition, Lookup, Sumif and Countif.
  • Use compatible field values, fixed values, nested formulas and supported whole-column inputs; circular references are prevented.
  • Chart fields display a bar chart from a numeric column, a label field and optional sort rules.

iCloud, security and sharing

  • Private iCloud sync with status, last updated time and an activity log.
  • Listbase Pro shares individual lists through iCloud with read-only or read-write participants; owners manage access.
  • Protect folders, lists and views using Face ID, Touch ID or a device passcode; folder protection applies to contents and protected content relocks in the background.

Import, export and recovery

  • Import CSV as a list; export lists and views as CSV.
  • Export an app backup and restore it with Merge or Replace; Replace removes current personal data but leaves shared lists unaffected.
  • Export individual lists, views and folder subtrees; export and import list templates without item data.
  • Restore deleted lists and items from Deleted Items, or delete them permanently. Deleting a view is permanent.
  • Settings → Usage shows usage statistics; free limits are 10 active lists, 100 active items per list and 10 saved views.
