What Formms is
Formms is a form builder that lives on your phone. Instead of assembling a form field by field at a desktop, you describe the form you need in plain words, like "a customer satisfaction survey with a star rating," and AI builds it in seconds with the right question types. You can then edit any question by hand or ask the AI to refine the whole form.
Every published form gets a short link (like form.ms/ekatas) and a downloadable QR code. People filling out the form need no app and no account. Each response arrives on the owner's phone as an instant push notification, with all responses organized in the app, optional email notifications, and CSV export.
Core features
- AI form generation from a plain-language description, plus AI-assisted editing
- 15 question types: short and long text, multiple choice, checkboxes, star and number ratings, dates, email, file uploads, and more
- Short shareable links on the form.ms domain and a built-in downloadable QR code for every form
- Instant push notifications for each response, with optional per-response email notifications
- Response limits and close dates, and the ability to toggle a form on or off at any time
- Import of existing forms from Google Forms, Typeform, and Tally
- CSV export of all responses
- Forms render as clean, fast web pages that look good on phones, tablets, and desktops
Ideal for
- People who need a form quickly and do not have a laptop in front of them
- Small businesses: contact forms, order forms, appointment requests, lead capture at markets and trade shows
- Events: RSVPs, registrations, sign-up sheets, printed QR codes on invitations and posters
- Feedback: customer feedback forms, satisfaction surveys, bug reports with screenshots
- Hiring: simple job application forms with resume upload
Limitations
Formms deliberately optimizes for speed and simplicity on a phone. It is not the right tool if you need:
- A desktop form builder: forms are created and managed in the mobile app, not in a web dashboard
- Payment collection inside forms
- Hundred-field enterprise forms, approval workflows, or a large widget and integration marketplace
How Formms compares
Compared to Google Forms, Formms offers a native mobile builder, short links, built-in QR codes, and push notifications; Google Forms offers deeper Google Workspace and Sheets integration. Compared to Typeform, Formms is free without per-response limits and builds on a phone; Typeform offers more enterprise marketing features at a monthly price. Compared to Jotform, Formms trades an industrial feature catalog for a one-minute, one-thumb workflow.
