You just used a Bionic form

Someone built that form with Bionic Forms. You landed here because you clicked the small line at the bottom of it, which probably means you want to know what this is before you decide whether you care.

What happened to your answers

They went straight into that person's own database as a record, and nothing else happened. No analytics script ran on the form page. No advertising network was told you were there. If the form was marked anonymous, your network address was never written down anywhere, not even in a log line beside your answer, and the thing that stops a robot filling the form ten thousand times works on a one-way hash instead of keeping your address. We wrote about why most anonymous forms are not if you want the long version.

Whether that person can see who you are is up to how they built the form, not up to us. If it asked for your name, they have your name.

What Bionic Forms is

It is a way to build the small business apps that usually end up as a spreadsheet nobody can share properly: a client list, a job tracker, an intake process, an equipment register. You describe what you need and it builds the forms, the views, the workflows and the access rules, with a history of every change, which you can then edit by hand. The form you just filled in is one door into somebody's app.

The unusual part is where the data lives. On the desktop app it is an encrypted SQLite file on your own machine that syncs through our server, rather than a row in a database you can never touch. It is closest in spirit to the old Lotus Notes and FileMaker idea that the database is the app, without needing a consultant to keep it alive.

What it costs

Unlimited apps are free forever, up to 10,000 entries in each and 10 GB in total. $29 a month lifts both. Every plan carries unlimited users, so inviting your whole team never changes the bill. There is no per-seat meter anywhere in it, which is the main reason people move here from tools that charge per person.

The honest caveats

Because you would find these out anyway, and better now:

• It is pre-launch, with no external customers yet. You would be early.
• The Windows desktop app is not code-signed yet, so Windows warns about it on first run (More info, then Run anyway). The browser version works fine on Windows either way.
• No iOS or Android app.
• Offline is a desktop feature. The browser version needs a connection.
• If you are moving from something else, the importer brings your records across from CSV, a one-sheet Excel workbook or a Google Sheet, but it does not convert the old application itself. There is no automatic conversion of layouts, scripts or logic anywhere in this category, whatever anyone tells you.
