General Discussion
1

It will be nice if we can connect different small apps through global variable or in some other way to nake a one big app.

See here on how to do that with Appinventor apps

You can use a TinyDB with the same NameSpace in every application.
If you save a value in one application, the same value will be provided in another application.

No

Each app will have its own TinyDB... only in the companion app it is shared

From the documentation Storage

You cannot use the TinyDB to pass data between two different apps on the phone, although you can use the TinyDB to share data between the different screens of a multi-screen app.

When you are developing apps using the AI Companion, all the apps using that Companion will share the same TinyDB. That sharing will disappear once the apps are packaged and installed on the phone.

Sorry, I thought it could work like this...
Sorry for the inconvenience,
