FileMaker Pro
Claris · A low-code platform for building custom apps and working with relational data.
About
FileMaker Pro is a desktop app for building custom applications with relational data. Claris describes FileMaker as a low-code platform for creating business apps tailored to particular workflows. This entry covers FileMaker Pro, not the separate FileMaker Server, FileMaker Cloud, FileMaker Go, or FileMaker WebDirect products.
- The FileMaker platform’s Script Engine can automate workflows, process data, and control app behavior without requiring a traditional programming language.
- Use FileMaker’s development tools to build custom apps, then use them as part of the broader FileMaker platform.
- Claris describes the platform as supporting deployment across macOS, Windows, mobile, web, and multi-user environments. These capabilities involve the platform and related products, not just this desktop app.
To install, run brew install --cask filemaker-pro. The cask requires macOS 14 or later. Installation requires agreement to the FileMaker Pro license; review its terms before proceeding. The cask installs FileMaker Pro.app in /Applications.
FileMaker Pro is the app for building solutions; the homepage’s hosting and mobile-access options refer to separate products. The cask links to the license terms, but the supplied information does not specify pricing.
