FileMaker
Apple's database application
FileMaker is database software developed by Apple's subsidiary Claris, used primarily for creating custom business applications without extensive programming knowledge.
It combines database functionality with form-building tools, allowing users to design interfaces for managing records, tracking inventory, or organizing client information.
Popular among small businesses and departments within larger organizations: We built our entire client management system in FileMaker.
