Claris
Create custom apps with Claris, an Apple company. Automate processes, connect your system
Claris is an Apple company providing tools for building custom business applications, automating workflows, and connecting systems across an organization. It addresses the need to tailor software to specific business processes rather than adapting operations to off-the-shelf tools, covering areas such as CRM, project management, asset tracking, invoicing, and event planning.
The platform centers on Claris FileMaker for custom app creation, with drag-and-drop design, prebuilt add-ons, reporting tools, and script-based automation. Claris Connect handles workflow automation between FileMaker and third-party services. Integration options include the FileMaker Data API, OData, ODBC/JDBC, JavaScript, and connections to external SQL sources such as MySQL, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server. Apps can run on Windows and Mac via FileMaker Pro, on iOS through FileMaker Go, and in web browsers via FileMaker WebDirect. Hosting is available through FileMaker Cloud or self-hosted FileMaker Server.
Claris is aimed at teams and developers building internal business tools across industries. Licensing covers both FileMaker and Claris Connect and is priced per user, billed annually, with tiers differentiated by user count, app hosting limits, storage, API usage, and active Claris Connect flows. A single FileMaker Pro license is available for individual use, and custom licensing options are offered for larger organizations.
