Data Maker
Your own forms. Your own database. Your own computer.
Data Maker is a form builder and a private database in one. Build forms, collect records, and publish anywhere. Your data lives on your own computer, with encrypted backups. Submissions are encrypted end-to-end: we can't read them, even if we wanted to.
It started with the same wall, over and over. Every form tool gave us a nice way to collect answers and a dead end after that. The data landed in someone else's cloud, in a shape we could not query, behind an export button and a monthly bill. When we needed a real database we had to leave the form tool behind and rebuild the whole thing ourselves.
So we set out to make one thing that did both. A form on the front, a real database behind it. Not a spreadsheet pretending to be a database, and not a database you need a developer to touch. Something we could stand up in an afternoon and still trust when it held ten thousand records. Something we could point our other tools at, query directly, and pull into whatever we were already running.
The other thing that kept nagging at us was ownership. Our data was sitting on big tech's servers, feeding their training sets, one breach away from being public. That never sat right. Data Maker keeps everything on your machine, encrypted, and the cloud is there only when you ask for it and only for the parts you choose.
We also refused to build a tool you outgrow. You start with a single form and a handful of fields, then add tables, relationships, calculated fields, and validation as the work gets real. The easy version and the serious version are the same product, so there is no ceiling to hit and nothing to migrate off of.
And it had to answer questions from day one. Reporting comes with the first record, not as a feature bolted on later. Charts, filters, and exports are built in, so the moment data starts coming in you can see what it says.
Real work never fits one mold, so neither does Data Maker. Simple forms, multi-step wizards, card views, surveys, petitions, imports from CSV and PDF. The tool bends to the flow instead of forcing the flow to fit the tool.
That is Data Maker. Your own forms, your own database, your own computer.
