The personal database landscape for the Apple ecosystem is a charred and barren landscape, littered with the corpses of the fallen. Like this companion post, the available solutions all fall short in any number of ways:
- No iOS companion, no iCloud sync, or both (Tropy)
- Last update to the app was years ago (Records, Delicious Library)
- Subscription pricing in the hundreds per year (FileMaker Pro)
Remember, just because the website is up and the developer will still let you buy it, doesn’t mean that the software is technically “supported” (looking at you Yojimbo). Years ago I wouldn’t have hesitated to recommend Delicious Library, but like Yojimbo, VoodooPad, and so many others, they’ve failed to keep up to date. Zombie abandonware, still moving, but dead just the same.
That being said, I use Book Track on my iPhone.
