Realm
Does anyone use Realm software? We switched to it not long ago, and I find it less than ideal, particularly the lack of a calendar (which the pandemic made less critical, but. . .). There is also no way to download a member directory as one could in a password-protected area of ChurchDb (with members able to opt out from inclusion).
I’d love to hear from folks about features that they particularly like.

Oak Ridge UU Church uses Realm. I am not an active user, so I cannot answer directly, but our office should be able to. We use Google Calendar. We have never used the calendar part of any of the 3 different CMS we have used in the last 20+ years. Access to a directory is simplistic and limited in information. Staff can create full directories, and does so periodically. Staff does use the pledge and payment tracking aspect of Realm, exporting that data into QBO.
