Data Card Layout

Last Updated:

Data Cards give you a Notion-like view of your lists, showing item properties right on the card so you can see and edit information at a glance.

Ingredients and metadata tags feature


Enabling Data Cards

  1. Open a list
  2. Tap ••• in the top right
  3. Tap “Edit List Details”
  4. Under Layout, choose “Large Data Card” or “Medium Data Card”

Large Data Card — One column on iPhone, two on iPad. Best for lists with several properties to display.

Medium Data Card — Two columns on iPhone, four on iPad. More compact while still showing property details.


What Appears on a Card

Each Data Card shows:

  • Cover image (with optional “Cover” or “Fit” image mode)
  • Item title
  • Configurable property rows — ratings, tags, genres, streaming services, custom Ingredients, and more

Cards automatically adjust their height based on how many properties are shown.


Tap-to-Edit

The best part of Data Cards is tap-to-edit. Tap any property row directly on the card to edit it without opening the full item detail view. A focused editor appears with the right input type for each field:

  • Text — Keyboard input
  • Number — Stepper control
  • Date — Date picker
  • Checkbox — Toggle
  • Select / Multi-Select — Option picker
  • Link — URL input

Changes save instantly.


Image Mode

Data Cards offer two image modes:

  • Cover — Fixed 4:3 crop, consistent card heights
  • Fit — Adapts to the image’s natural aspect ratio, so tall movie posters and wide album art display properly
