Design the form. Keep the record.
Recordry is two things at once: a builder for the form you wish existed, and the logbook of everything you have filled in from it. Draw up a template, publish it, and every record made from it is validated against that exact version and stored in an encrypted database on your own device. No account, no server, nothing to sign up for.

How It Works
A template, a version, and everything you log from it.
Most form apps give you a form. Recordry separates the form from the records made from it, because the form changes and the records must not change under you when it does.
Build the template
A template is the reusable form your records are made from. Add fields, group them into sections that can collapse, and drag them into the order you want. Each field carries its help text, whether it is required, optional, or required only when something else is true, and a machine key that becomes its column name in exports.
Publish a version
Nothing can be filled in from a draft. Publishing freezes the schema into a version that never changes again, and shows you exactly what is different from the last one before you commit to it. Try it first in the preview, which runs the real form and its real rules and saves nothing.
Keep the records
Records validate as you fill them in. Rules reveal and hide fields as the answers arrive, and a record finalizes only when what is required is genuinely there. If you finalize with problems outstanding, it is marked as needing attention and the reason is kept with it rather than discarded.

Rules & validation
The form should ask what follows from the last answer.
A long form that asks everyone everything is how a form gets abandoned. Rules let a template ask the next question only when it applies, and let a field be required only when it genuinely is.
- 1Show and hide A field, or an entire section, can stay out of the way until an answer makes it relevant. The rule is written in the builder as a sentence — when this, show that — not as a formula you have to debug.
- 2Required only when it matters A field can sit as optional until a condition makes it required. That is a third state alongside required and optional, so a form can insist on a reason for an exception without insisting on it from everyone.
- 3Validation with an honest failure A record cannot be finalized while a required answer is missing. If you finalize anyway, it is filed as needing attention with the outstanding count kept on it, rather than pretending to be complete.
- 4Preview before publishing Fill in the form exactly as it will be, with the rules live, before you publish it to anyone. The preview saves nothing — it is there to find the rule you got backwards while it is still free to fix.

Sixty-six kinds of question.
A form is only as good as the answers it can actually hold. Rather than a text box for everything, each type knows what a valid answer looks like, which operators a rule may use against it, and how it should be stored — which is what makes searching, sorting and validating possible later.

Forty-seven of the sixty-six definitions have a current rendering or entry surface, including layout and calculated fields. The rest stay visible in the builder with a reason, rather than disappearing or failing silently.

Finding things again
A logbook is only useful if you can find the entry.
Records go into folders you arrange yourself, and a folder can decide what belongs in it — which is how a shared folder stays consistent without anyone policing it.
Folders that know what they hold
New records in a folder start from the folder's template. Set it to inherit from the parent, allow anything, or mark the folder strict, which blocks records made from any other template outright.
Search and sort
Search across your records, and sort by when they were last updated, when they were created, or by name — ascending or descending. Fields marked as searchable are what search looks at; masked fields are deliberately excluded.
History you can read back
Every record keeps its own history: created, edited, finalized, reopened, restored, or switched to another template. A finalized record is locked — duplicate it to make changes, so the original stays exactly as it was filed.
Finalized records lock
Once a record is finalized it is locked, and the app tells you to duplicate it rather than quietly letting you rewrite what was filed. Its history keeps every edit, finalize and reopen along the way.

◎TextFree text with the constraint that fits it. An identifier keeps its leading zeros instead of being read as a number, and a masked field is hidden while typing, kept out of generated titles and search, and left out of exports.◇NumbersCurrency, percentages and measurements are held as exact decimals rather than binary floating point, so a total of money adds up to what you would get on paper.▦ChoicesOne answer or several, from a list you write. Radio, chips and dropdown are the same stored answer in different clothes, so changing your mind about the presentation cannot lose what people already picked.

Recordry is built in the open and released from source. Below is honestly where each platform stands — not where it is heading.
Browser demo
The same app, compiled for the browser, against an in-memory database. Nothing is written to disk, nothing is sent anywhere, and everything is gone when you reload. It is for trying the builder, not for keeping records.

On iOS it is the full app: an encrypted database on disk, with its key in the system keychain. The App Store build is not published yet.

Privacy
There is nowhere for your records to go.
Recordry has no backend, no account system, and no analytics. The records you keep in it are frequently the kind you would not put in a cloud spreadsheet, so the app is built to make that impossible rather than merely unlikely.
No account, no sign-in, no email address
Templates, records and their values live in a SQLCipher database encrypted with AES-256
No analytics, no trackers, no advertising SDKs
The database key is generated by the operating system's secure random source and held in the Keychain or Keystore
The Android release does not request the INTERNET permission at all
Fields marked sensitive are masked while typing and kept out of titles, search and exports
