Softr

COLLAB
Velocity6.3

No-code platform for building client portals and internal tools on top of Airtable, Google Sheets, or databases without writing code

Softr adds a one-click path off Airtable, moving data, automations and apps onto Softr Database.

◆Current state
Softr now offers a Migrate from Airtable flow that imports bases and automations into Softr Database and copies an existing app onto it for testing before the switch. The same week brought record grouping in the database and a 90-day credit usage history for workflows. Earlier in October it added in-app notifications, workspace folders, public database sharing, and official connector listings on Claude and ChatGPT.
◆Where it's heading
Softr is turning from a front end for other people's data into a full stack it owns: its own database, workflows billed in credits, and now a migration path away from the data source many customers started on. The MCP work in September and the Claude and ChatGPT listings keep the AI-access thread running alongside.
◆Prediction
Expect more Softr Database features that close gaps with Airtable (views, field types, automations), and more credit visibility as workflow billing grows.

    Migrate from Airtable

    ⚡ SPARK

    This is where Softr's database strategy becomes explicit: customers can now move their Airtable data, automations and apps onto Softr's own stack. It follows a month of database and workflow features built up to make that switch credible.

    Record grouping in Softr Database

    Up to three levels of grouping with counts and collapse controls brings Softr Database closer to the table views Airtable users expect. It lands the same day as the migration tool, which is not a coincidence.

    Workflow credit usage history

    Workflow credit usage per workflow over 90 days, with a forecast of whether credits will last the cycle. As workflows become a billed product, customers get the visibility to manage the spend.

    In-app notifications

    Apps gain a built-in notification inbox for comments, mentions and workflow-sent messages. It makes Softr apps feel more like finished products and gives Workflows another output channel.

    Database + View public sharing

  6. 23d ago

    Softr is now an official connector on Claude & ChatGPT

    Softr is now an official connector in Claude and ChatGPT, building on September's MCP rollout. It is a distribution step that makes the existing MCP access easier to find.
