'''FileMaker''' is a cross-platform [[relational database]] application developed by [[Claris|Claris International]], a [[subsidiary]] of [[Apple Inc.]] It integrates a [[database engine]] with a graphical user interface ([[GUI]]) and security features, allowing users to visually modify a database. Versions for desktops, servers, iOS, and web-delivery have been released.

The desktop app is based on a DOS application originally named ''FileMaker'', which was then developed primarily for the [[Apple Macintosh]] and released in April 1985. It was rebranded as ''FileMaker Pro'' in 1990. Since 1992 it has been available for [[Microsoft Windows]] and for the [[classic Mac OS]] and [[macOS]], and has cross-platform capabilities.

''FileMaker Go'', the mobile app, was released for [[iOS]] devices in July 2010.

''FileMaker Server'' allows centralized hosting of apps which can be used on both the desktop and mobile apps. A cloud variant, named ''FileMaker Cloud'', is hosted by [[Claris]].
