Airtable gaps

Your form setup doesn’t follow you between devices

Build a custom form for your base on one device and there’s no built-in way for it to appear on your others — you’d rebuild or export it by hand.

Build a custom form for your base on one device and it stays there. Airtable gives you no built-in way to carry that setup across to your other devices, so getting the same form onto your phone or tablet means rebuilding it by hand or exporting it yourself.

Air Fill is working on a fix for exactly this: start a form on one device and pick it up on another, with your setup already waiting for you. It’s in development now, and it’s designed so the work you do once is the work you keep, wherever you happen to be building.

How Air Fill fixes this

Start on one device, pick up on another In development Build a form on your iPad and it’s already waiting on your iPhone, carried over your own iCloud.

Feels native, because every control is.

Airtable’s web form gives every field the same grey box. Air Fill gives it the control iOS would — cards you tap, a calendar you flick, a signature you draw.

Priority Low Medium High

Select cards Single-select becomes big, thumb-sized cards. Tap one and the form moves you on.
Company Email

Text fields Floating labels, and the right keyboard for email, numbers, and URLs — chosen from your field’s type.

Conditional fields Flip a switch and the fields that matter appear. Ask only what the answer needs.

The Airtable form complaints you know by heart.

Airtable has a lot on its plate. These are the form gaps we went deep on, answered on your own base.

“Lose signal, and the submission’s gone.”

Air Fill saves each entry on the device and sends it the moment you’re back online.
“The form logic never goes deep enough.”

Build the rules you need: AND/OR branches, section and submit gating, and calculations that update live.
“The inputs are basic, and there aren’t many.”

Sign on the screen, scan a barcode into a field, tap big choice cards, and search linked records.
“One form, and then you’re on your own.”

Form Flows runs a set of forms as one session and carries answers from each step to the next.
