History[03][05]
FileMaker was originally developed as a DOS application called Nutshell distributed by Leading Edge. The developers later evolved and published it for Apple Macintosh as FileMaker in April 1985. In the late 1980s, it was acquired by Claris, a wholly owned subsidiary of Apple and was first expanded to run under Windows there in 1992. Later, FileMaker was the only strong-selling product in Claris's lineup and Apple changed Claris's name to FileMaker, Inc., to concentrate on the database. FileMaker Go for iOS devices came out in 2010, supporting the creation, modification, and deletion. In 2016, FileMaker Cloud was released which includes a Linux server.
