Dolly made 9 to 5 famous. Your FileMaker app can cover 5 to 9. ✨

Custom FileMaker development gives you a system built around how your team actually works, handling routine tasks so your people can focus on the work that makes the business shine.

Dolly built an empire by knowing exactly who she is. Your software should know exactly how you work.

Securing your FileMaker Server just got easier, and it's free! 🔒

Your team's call recordings, voicemails, and field notes are full of useful information; now you can actually search them.

We connected FileMaker directly to Google Speech-to-Text, so recordings are automatically transcribed into searchable text. No manual transcription, no third-party service, no copy-pasting between systems.

The blog walks through the full setup step by step, and includes a free demo file so you can get it running in your own solution fast.

Raise your hand if any of this sounds familiar:

📧 Someone has to remember to send the follow-up email
📄 Reports get pulled together by hand every single time
⏰ Overdue tasks slip through until someone notices

FileMaker can automate all three, and FM Quickstart gets you started free 👇

FM Quickstart | Free FileMaker Template FM Quickstart is a free CRM template, custom built by a team of certified FileMaker developers. Customize the template yourself or contact us to add features.

Here's a time-saver for anyone managing FileMaker permissions: connect your organization's Google Groups directly to Claris FileMaker.🔑

Instead of adding and removing individual users manually, your existing Google Workspace groups handle it. New hire joins the right group, they're in. Someone leaves the company, their access goes too. Role change? Same idea.

It's a small setup that saves a lot of admin time down the road.

Google SSO and Claris FileMaker: Access Made Simple Connect your Google Groups to Claris FileMaker for simplified access control, speeding up onboarding, offboarding, and role changes for admins.

That QR code on your printed form? It stops working on March 15, 2027, and there's no redirect waiting on the other end.

That's the shutdown date for Claris Studio. Your FileMaker file is fine. Claris Studio isn't.

CSV export won't save your views, your forms, or your shared links; those just stop working, no warning, no redirect.

Under 18 months sounds like enough time. It isn't, once you account for rebuilding, testing, and running two systems long enough to trust the new one.
