Claris FileMaker 2026 is the most refined, intelligent, and resilient version of FileMaker yet — built for developers who demand more from their platform every day.
Build smarter, faster.
A redesigned context-aware Inspector on macOS shows only what you need, when you need it — fewer tabs, less clicking, faster layout work. Script Workspace improvements let you collapse disabled steps and comments, organize custom functions into folders, and stay focused on what matters. New field entry by calculation eliminates layout workarounds entirely.
AI that works the way you do.
FileMaker 2026 expands native AI capabilities with support for Google Gemini alongside existing providers. New field and table annotations give AI models richer schema context, dramatically improving the accuracy of natural language queries and LLM-powered insights. New metadata calculation functions — including BaseTableComment and FieldAnnotation — give developers programmatic access to schema documentation, making intelligent solutions easier to build and maintain.
Infrastructure built to last.
Server reliability takes a major leap forward with automatic crash recovery for the Web Publishing Engine, OData, and Data API — meaning less manual intervention and more uptime. Support for multiple Server-Side Script Engine processes improves performance under heavy workloads. Full compatibility with macOS 26, Windows Server 2025, OpenSSL 3.5 LTS, and Apache Tomcat 10.1.44+ ensures your deployments stay secure and future-ready.
Accessibility for everyone.
WebDirect now delivers improved screen reader support, semantic HTML updates, and ARIA compliance — a significant step toward WCAG 2.1 compliance. Existing layouts benefit automatically, with no redesign required.
