Filemaker, the product which began life as a database, had already (version 17) been “recast” as a platform for application development. Not long after that review, FileMaker Inc changed its name (back) to the venerable Claris. Older Mac users will remember and love Claris as the company which brought us ClarisWorks and on which the current Apple Mail application was based. Has it been a while since you thought about FileMaker? Do you still think of it as database software (albeit extremely powerful)? If you haven’t kept up with the extent to which FileMaker’s market penetration and user base have grown – to more than a million, then do take a look at this page… you may be in for some surprises. But FileMaker 19 should be seen as Claris’s first open platform for software development. Yes, its core engine remains a highly-sophisticated RDBMS. And there are significant new features as well. The product/platform is increasingly being called Claris FileMaker (“Advanced” has gone, although the filename’s extension is still “.fmp12”). It’s aimed at anyone who wants to build their own robust, cross-platform applications. €œPlatform-independent” might be better… FileMaker apps run on macOS, iOS, the web etc and Windows.

Such applications are flexible and robust solutions for home, groups, large and small businesses, in administration, commerce, the arts, and accounting.
