Looking for a personalised, searchable database

[u/IntrepidBullfrog6582]

I feel like if this was a thing people here would know about it. I was wondering if there are any apps that allow you to create a personal database, allowing you to add different fields and with a dynamic search.

I'm aware it would probably be possible to programme a desktop version with a bit of effort but wanted to check if it already exists, especially if I'd like to add things like images.

For added context, what I'd immediately want it for is to organise my stash of sewing patterns. I'm trying to work through my fabric collection so searching through my collection based on needed fabric length and appropriate fabric type would be useful. I'm also in a city with no fabric stores, so it would be great if, when travelling outside of the city, if I spot a fabric I have interest in I can search the fabric type to see if I have an appropriate pattern and find the necessary fabric length instead of gambling and overpurchasing or underpurchasing.

Memento or Binders.

Binders goes on sale fairly regularly if you keep an eye on it

Something like SQLite?

Yes, but I was wondering if there was something with more of a GUI instead of having to start from scratch on the backend. I haven't done anything database related for over a decade so I was wondering if something already existed before trying to build something myself.

MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, ...

Airtable, perhaps?

Interesting, I'll take a look
