JabrDB currently runs on Apple silicon Macs with macOS 14 or later. The download is the complete program: everything works for 15 days, and after that it no longer allows new data to be added, but it keeps reading, querying, backing up and exporting your data – until a licence key is entered. JustForms, the forms capability, is included with JabrDB.
Download JabrDB 1.0 (about 18 MB)
Installing
- Open the downloaded file,
JabrDB-1.0.0-….dmg, from your Downloads folder. - Drag the JabrDB icon onto the Applications folder in the window that appears, then eject the disk image.
- Open JabrDB from Applications. The first time, macOS will say the app was downloaded from the internet and that Apple checked it — click Open. (JabrDB is signed and notarised by Apple; you will not see an “unidentified developer” warning.)
- Read and agree to the Terms of Use, then register — or click Skip. Registration is optional and the data stays on your Mac.
- Experiment with the small DemoDB, or choose Open Harbourside Trading to start exploring a larger database, or create a database of your own.
If you have a licence key
Your key arrived in the receipt email. In JabrDB choose JabrDB ▸ Licence…, paste the key, and click Activate. One key works on up to three Macs; to move the database from one Mac to another, choose Deactivate this Mac in JabrDB (in About) on the old one first.

Updates
JabrDB checks for updates once a day and offers them to you; nothing installs without your say-so. You can also choose JabrDB ▸ Check for Updates… at any time. Updates within version 1.00 are included with every licence.
