I’m planning to release a paid macOS utility—similar in spirit to MDB/ACCDB Viewer ([login to view URL])—that not only opens Microsoft Access files but also handles other common database formats with a richer tool-set. The core of the job is to build, code-sign, sandbox and prepare a Mac App Store package that will generate revenue through a single up-front purchase. What I need the app to do • Database viewing: read MDB, ACCDB and ideally SQLite, CSV and other popular formats, displaying tables, queries and relationships in a clean, customizable interface. • Data export: let users push selected tables or queries straight to MySQL, SQL Server, Excel (XLSX/CSV) and plain CSV with one click. • Data conversion: enable on-the-fly conversion between supported formats so users can move data without external tools. Key feature requests – Customizable user interface (themes, resizable panes, column re-ordering, dark mode support). – Advanced search options (multi-column filtering, regex, case sensitivity toggles, saved searches). – No cloud sync required at this stage. Deliverables 1. Swift/Xcode project with full source and documentation. 2. Signed, sandbox-compliant .app ready for Mac App Store submission, including all App Store assets (icons, screenshots, description text placeholders). 3. Brief guide covering build steps, export/conversion logic and how to adjust App Store pricing for future updates. Acceptance criteria • App opens 1 GB+ MDB/ACCDB files in under 10 seconds on an M-series Mac. • Exports complete without data loss; row counts match source tables exactly. • Passes Apple’s automated notarization and sandbox checks. There’s no fixed deadline, so we can iterate for polish and QA until the App Store review succeeds. If you have previous macOS store releases or database-heavy Swift projects, please mention them so I can gauge fit. Start your bid with "Mac hero" to contact you, your bid must be final!!

Mac hero here. Your scope is well-defined — a native Swift/Xcode macOS app that reads MDB, ACCDB, SQLite, and CSV files, exports cleanly to MySQL, SQL Server, and Excel, handles format conversion between them, and ships through the Mac App Store with proper code signing and sandboxing. The performance bar you set (1 GB+ MDB/ACCDB files in under 10 seconds on M-series) tells me you've used the existing tools on the market and know exactly where they fall short. I've built and shipped macOS and iOS apps using Swift and SwiftUI, with 10+ years across the full development lifecycle — architecture through App Store submission. A few things that map directly to what you're building: MDB/ACCDB parsing on macOS means either wrapping mdbtools or building a native reader — I'd walk you through the tradeoffs before committing to an approach, since that choice affects sandbox compliance and performance on large files. I've worked extensively with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite, so the read/write/export layer is familiar ground. The export-to-MySQL and export-to-SQL Server features need clean connection handling, authentication, and schema mapping — I'd build that as a guided flow so your end users don't need to touch SQL to push their data. On the App Store side — I've handled Apple's code signing, sandboxing, and notarization process. Sandbox compliance is where most Mac App Store submissions get rejected on first pass. File-access entitlements, the container model, and how the app requests permission to read user-selected database files all need to be wired correctly from day one, not patched in at the end. What you'd get: a clean, documented Xcode project you fully own, an app built to pass Apple's review on first submission (I know the common rejection reasons and design around them), and a UI that feels native to macOS — real AppKit/SwiftUI with dark mode, resizable panes, column reordering, and the kind of polish Mac users expect from a paid utility. Not a web wrapper. I use AI in my workflow to speed up iteration — especially useful for building out the UI variations and catching edge cases in data import/export paths. Since there's no fixed deadline, I'd suggest we start with a quick 15-minute call to nail down format priority (MDB/ACCDB first then SQLite and CSV, or all at once) and which export targets matter most to you. That way I can structure the build so you're testing a working app early instead of waiting for everything to land at once. Happy to hop on a call whenever works.

Mac hero here. I can build your paid macOS database utility. However, the search results don't provide any specific information about MDB/ACCDB file parsing, database export implementation, or Mac App Store sandboxing requirements. Without the ability to confirm technical details, I cannot commit to a fixed price or timeline. What I can confirm: · I have experience with Swift and Xcode for macOS development . · The app will target macOS 11.0+ for broad compatibility . · Code signing, sandboxing, and notarization are standard requirements . What I cannot confirm from search: · Specific libraries or APIs for reading MDB/ACCDB files (no technical resources found). · Implementation details for data export (MySQL, SQL Server, Excel)—no relevant search results. · Performance benchmarks for 1GB+ files. · Dark mode, custom theming, or regex search implementation specifics. Before I can quote: Please share any technical references, existing similar apps, or preferred libraries for database parsing. I'll then provide a realistic price and timeline.

Mac hero Hi there, I can dive in immediately and get your macOS database utility built, optimized, and ready for the App Store. I understand you want a clean, fast UI that can handle massive 1 GB+ files without breaking a sweat, and I am ready to build this exactly to your technical criteria. Here is my core execution plan for your utility: 1 GB+ Speed Optimization: To open massive .mdb and .accdb files in under 10 seconds on M-series Macs, I will implement localized stream-parsing libraries. This ensures the app reads the schema and tables smoothly inside Apple's strict sandbox without killing system memory. Bulletproof Export and Conversion: I will map out the data types precisely so that users can move tables or queries straight to MySQL, SQL Server, and Excel with absolute zero data loss and 100% accurate row counts. Customizable SwiftUI Layout: I will design a slick, native multi-pane interface supporting customizable themes, resizable panes, column re-ordering, native Dark Mode, and advanced regex filtering. App Store Packaging and Handoff: I will deliver a signed, notarized, and sandbox-compliant .app bundle ready for submission, full documented Swift/Xcode source code, and a clean guide covering build steps and App Store pricing tweaks. My bid is final, and I'm ready to handle the heavy lifting and iterate with you until the App Store review succeeds. Let's get to work. Best regards, Shameel

Mac hero Hello, I can help build this as a polished macOS database utility focused on fast file loading, reliable export, and App Store-ready packaging. The key challenge is not only opening MDB/ACCDB and other formats, but handling large files safely without UI freezes or export mismatches. I would start by validating the database readers and export paths first, especially MDB/ACCDB, MySQL, SQL Server, XLSX, and CSV, then build the Swift/Xcode interface around a stable data layer. To avoid problems, I’d use streaming/chunked processing for large files, row-count validation after exports, sandbox-safe file permissions, and early code-signing/notarization checks instead of leaving App Store issues until the end. I don’t want to overpromise on prior Mac App Store releases, but I’m comfortable with database-heavy app architecture and can work carefully through the packaging and QA requirements. Thanks!

For a macOS MDB and ACCDB viewer, the real challenge is parsing the Jet/ACE database format without any Windows dependency. I would build this in Swift with SwiftUI, handle file reading via a native library, and set it up for Mac App Store distribution with proper sandboxing. The billing and pricing flow for a paid utility adds maybe a day on top of the core viewer. Can start today and have a working prototype within a week. Treat the bid and timeline as starting points. The real numbers depend on the feature list we go through together. Want to jump on a quick call?

Mac hero The bid amount and timeline above are rough placeholders , real numbers come after a short chat about scope and priorities. You're building a paid macOS utility that goes beyond the basic MDB viewer crowd: it needs to handle MDB, ACCDB, SQLite, CSV and similar formats all in one place, with proper export pipelines to MySQL, SQL Server and Excel, plus on-the-fly format conversion. The end goal is a polished, sandboxed App Store release that earns through a single up-front purchase and passes Apple's notarization without a hitch. Here's how we'd approach this: - Core database engine: Swift with a native Xcode project, wrapping MDB/ACCDB parsing via an open-source C library (mdbtools or similar bridged layer), plus built-in SQLite and CSV readers so every format loads cleanly. - Table viewer and UI: SwiftUI for the main interface with resizable panes, column reordering, dark mode and theme support baked in from the start, not bolted on later. - Export and conversion: direct MySQL/SQL Server connections via SwiftNIO or a lightweight driver, plus XlsxWriter-equivalent Swift bindings for XLSX output; row counts validated post-export before the success flag fires. - Search and filtering: multi-column filter bar with regex toggle and saved-search persistence in UserDefaults, so power users can pick up where they left off. - App Store packaging: full sandbox entitlements, code-signing profile, all required App Store assets (icons at every required size, screenshots, metadata placeholders) and a build guide so you can push updates without us in the loop. After a short scope call we'll put together a written proposal covering milestones, timeline and a firm price. Want to jump on a quick call this week to walk through the file-format priorities and agree on the first milestone? Best, 96 Studio
