Extract text from Totals database files (TOTALSDB)
To convert TOTALSDB databases to another format, you need Kedisoft Totals or other Database software.
To convert other file formats to the "Invoicing Application Database" file type, you need software like Kedisoft Totals or a similar tool.
The .TOTALSDB file is an accounting database used by Kedisoft Totals, an invoicing application for macOS. It stores business data such as clients, generated invoices, catalogs, and financial records in a structured local file.
Users manage these files natively through the Kedisoft Totals software on Apple devices. Because it handles sensitive financial data, the structure is customized for the specific application.
This is a closed, proprietary database format. The main disadvantage is vendor lock-in. You cannot natively open a .TOTALSDB file in web browsers, and it cannot be read directly by standard spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel. Users face strict limits when trying to share raw accounting records with Windows users or accountants who use different accounting platforms.
When migrating data, the best conversion targets are CSV for tabular spreadsheet data or SQL for importing into a new database. Note that exporting a relational database to a flat CSV file often breaks the complex links between clients and their specific invoices, requiring manual reorganization.
This file format is difficult to open or convert because of its proprietary database schema. Often, only the original Kedisoft software can properly read, interpret, or export the data. Standard online converters fail to process it because they lack the specific table definitions. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format like an SQLite structure, extracting text or viewing raw data tables may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TOTALSDB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert TOTALSDB file to DB, SQLITE, SQLITE3, MDB, ACCDB, DBF, ODB, FDB, GDB, MYD, FRM or SQL, you can use Kedisoft Totals or similar software from the "Accounting Database Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert NDF, SQLITE3, BAK, RDB, SQL, DB4, MDF, MDB, LDF, DB, DB3 or SQLITE files to TOTALSDB, try Kedisoft Totals or another comparable tool in the "Accounting Database Storage" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our TOTALSDB converter.
