Three years ago, the Apple subsidiary FileMaker was renamed Claris. In a next step, the name of the database software disappears completely.

 

The database software FileMaker is renamed and will be called Claris from the autumn, like the publishing company. The wholly-owned Apple subsidiary has also announced a new pricing model that could be particularly attractive for private users. Otherwise, use will be ten percent more expensive from September.

 

The new names of FileMaker Pro, FileMaker Go and FileMaker Server are Claris Pro, Claris Go and Claris Server. There is also a new web-based development environment called Claris Studio, as the company announced.

Claris Pro is supposed to be distributed as a freemium model, although the name hardly suggests it. Users should be able to use Claris Studio and possibly also Claris Go free of charge – however, this option is reduced to just one user. However, this could be of particular interest for private purposes. Further details on this are yet to be announced.

FileMaker is a database system that runs on macOS, iOS and Windows. The software was first released in 1985 and is now available in version 19.5.2. The origins lie in a program called Nutshell, which was available for MS-DOS in the early 1980s. One of the special features of FileMaker is that no data binding to other programming languages ​​or user interfaces is necessary and that applications can be changed during operation.

FileMaker and Claris can look back on an eventful renaming history. Claris was founded in 1987 as an Apple subsidiary. Productivity apps were released under the name, which included FileMaker. In 1998 it became the company FileMaker, which was renamed back to Claris in 2019. The software is now following, but previously it was all called FileMaker.
