There probably aren't many sawyers on iPhone, but still I'm curious... at this point in time, why not just a PWA for something like this? Even if the other advantages are controversial, with a PWA you can use the same app on a desktop that you use on a phone.

Might be easier given OPs background to have straightforward access to SQLite?

Exactly what I thought. Custom made administrative apps are the ideal use case for a pwa. Maybe performance and battery usage could be slightly improved by going native, but for some text based apps the benefits of pwa in terms of portability should make it a no brainer.
