Symphytum: Create Databases for Your Collections
Symphytum is a free open-source database and collection manager app that allows you to create and manage your data collections.
It aids you in managing your contacts, inventory, customers, film collections, books, notes, and basically anything.
It is a straightforward process, starts by creating a collection or database, create forms, add fields, customize your views, and start inserting your data.
Fields can be any data type, as boolean, list, progress, text, numeric, date. They can be an image, or a file.
You can also import your data with CSV files, which will set the fields directly and populate it with your data.
Moreover, you can use it to manage your tasks, to-do lists, projects, and daily routine tasks.
However, it is important to note that Symphytum is not a complete database solution as it does not allow creating relations between data and calculate fields yet.
