π Hey Product Hunt community,
Softr is going full stack! Today, we are launching Softr Databases β the easiest way to manage your data and power your apps, all within Softr.
Databases are the backbone of every great app. Whether you're managing users, projects, orders, content, or internal workflows, structured data is what makes dynamic apps possible. Softr still has best-in-class native integrations with your favorite data sources, including Airtable, Notion, HubSpot, monday.com, SQL databases, and more.
But now you have the option to skip third-party tools and store, manage, and structure your data inside Softr. With this release, you can reduce costs and create faster, more scalable apps that grow with your business.
Softr Databases include:
- Tables with linked records: Connect related data across tables β like clients, projects, and tasks. Keep everything in sync, and get a single source of truth for workflows.
- Custom views: Customize table views for different teams and workflows in seconds, using built-in filters, sorting, and field visibility.
- Flexible field types: Structure data with field types like formulas, lookups, select and multi-select, attachments, and more.
- CSV import: Upload a CSV file from other tools to set up your database instantly β no formatting or rework needed.
- SOC2 and GDPR compliance: Softr is fully compliant with SOC2 and GDPR regulations, ensuring secure access to confidential documents.
- Coming soon: AI-powered features
What does using Softr Databases mean for your Softr apps?
- Instant, native data syncing: Data instantly syncs with your app, so updates happen in real time, without delays or manual refreshes.
- Easy external user sharing: Invite team members or external users to collaborate within your app, without paying per-seat costs.
- Ultimate data flexibility: Connect and combine data from multiple Softr databases (and 3rd-party data sources) all within a single app.
π Softr Databases is available to try on our FREE plan -> Sign up for Softr.
Start from scratch, use a template, or import your data using a CSV file. More details in our help docs or watch the launch video.
Weβd love to hear what you think in the comments! And we canβt wait to see the powerful databases and full-stack apps you build with Softr. π

@mariam_hakobyan5 I'm so happy for this launch πππ

@affouet_emmanotion thanks, pls share what you build!
@mariam_hakobyan5 Congratulations! Hope to bring more features!

The Softr team truly rocks! I'm incredibly proud of what we've accomplished in such a short time. What often takes others 3-5 years to build, weβve achieved in just 6 months. Remarkable teamwork and dedication all around!
Softr
@arturmkrtchyan congrats one more time team, great work!
Softr
Softr Databases are amazing β incredibly proud of what the team shipped! πππ
Softr
@boris_adamyan well done
Softr
I didnβt realize how much I needed Softr Databases. No more switching between tools or paying extra for every little thing. It just works β simple and clean. Excited to see what comes next.
@axay me too!

@arto_yeritsyan thanks so much! Excited to see all the use cases you will use Softr Databases for! :)
Softr
@arto_yeritsyan Thanks! we observed how airtable and notion started to hit the ceiling with speed, API requests started to take 20 seconds for simple requests which is unacceptable for APIs :) in some way we were forced to build it :D
Softr
It still feels unreal how fast and easy it will become to build the apps we need daily, without constantly going from tab to tab to dig for info in different spreadsheets. Now we can store our data in one space that works fast, is scalable, and secure!
All thanks to Softr Databases! β€οΈ
Huge congrats to our team. Your dedication, resilience, and integrity made this launch that much bigger! π
Keeping track of everything in contentβarticles, timelines, topics, clients, usually means living inside a chaos of spreadsheets. Thatβs why this launch is special for me. I havenβt built my full setup yet, but I already have a dozen ideas brewing. Canβt wait to move everything over and set up a proper workspace thatβs built around content. β€οΈ
Softr
@marie_davtyan great work
I've been testing those databases in beta and I was mind blown by the speed in the apps I built. Softr has always been excellent at building business apps but I always had a bit of frustration with the loading speed but this is it!
I'm now very curious to start building and see what will be the workflow options to build complex apps on top of these new tables!
Softr
@guillaume_duvernay thanks soo much! You have been doing an amazing job, with all the complex apps you built - and even more so, now powering them with the Softr Databases - thanks for all your feedback during the beta testing, it has been a blast to have you with us!
Triforce Todos
Super smooth experience! How quickly it was to import my CSV and link tables. Custom views are a nice touch too. Excited for the AI features π
Will there be a way to migrate from Airtable directly?
Great job, team! π
Softr
@abod_rehman Yes, it will! We're trying to refine a bit before release. Should be rather soon!
Softr
@abod_rehman working on Airtable/Notion import
And AI features are going to be super hot
Softr
This is a game changer. Softr becoming a full stack no-code platform. Amazing work team!!!
Now there is no more need to be integrated with other tool. All in one, everything is now in Softr. I believe this will help a lot non technical users build great applications just using Softr!

Super cool to be able to build everything in Softr now! Kudos to the entire team! πππ
Softr
@torben_schulz thanks so much for all your support! Give it a try and let us know your feedback! :)

I'm very excited about this release, as it's moving the platform towards becoming a complete, full-stack solution.
And it is also very fast π

Airtable Hint GPT
π Huge congrats to the Softr team on this launch!
Iβve been testing Softr Databases and was able to load over 1 million records into the system β and it just works. The performance has been seriously impressive, even at that scale. This is a game-changer for anyone whoβs hit limits with tools like Airtable but still wants the ease of use Softr offers.
Excited to see what people build with this β scalability meets no-code simplicity. πͺ
Softr
@greg_vonf that's amazing to hear! That's exactly the goal - simple yet powerful and scalable!
I'm thrilled that you've went full stack w/ database integration - skipping 3rd party tools but holding onto linked records + custom views is exactly what my workflow needed...everything in one place & reducing costs!!
Best of luck today :)) Awesome team
Softr
@cranqnow thanks Sam! You can still integrate 3th party data sources, if you want to, but now it's easier to keep everything in one place + no performance lag, no sync issues, no API limits.
@mariam_hakobyan5 Ahhh so so good, thanks Mariam!
Softr
@cranqnow Thanks more will come soon :)
@arturmkrtchyan Looking forward to it Artur!
Big one! This will speed things up a lot β‘οΈ
Congrats team!

@hdkstr Thank you Harold!
Softr
Thanks @hdkstr! Great to see the use cases you'll come up with! :)
@hdkstr Significantly faster Harold! Cant wait to show it to you.
