List App

Postby Bob Farmer » September 27th, 2020, 12:25 pm

I am looking for an app that provides a list of items. Each item would have a code name, say "123."

It should work like this:

1. I type in a code, say 123.

2. The app immediately displays the 123 item.

Does anyone know of an app that can do this?

The coding has to be flexible, so it could be a number code like 123 or an alphanumeric code like R12, or an alphabetical code like RBB.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

If a spreadsheet database (ie:AirTable) looks like it would work for you, also investigate TapForms or Numbers for iOS. (The latter being free from Apple.)

Assuming an iPhone, have you explored Notes? It has a number of formatting options, and search is global so if the codes are unique...

Hi Bill: Yes, I've played around with Notes and with Reminders. They both work okay.
