Today, I’m running the just-released Claris FileMaker® 19.3, with native support for Apple’s M1 chip, on a new MacBook Pro. On my M1 MacBook Pro, it already felt much faster than running FileMaker “natively” on an Intel-based MacBook…I was astonished. When I finally received my Apple M1 MacBook Pro, and started to use it…I was amazed.īack in 2020, FileMaker Pro 19.2 wasn’t optimized yet for Apple silicon processors, but ran fine under Rosetta emulation. Most of them had great things to say about the promise of Apple’s new M1 chip…I was impressed.

For both yourself and your clients.Ĭlick the link below and open your mind to the possibilities in front of you.When the Apple silicon Macs with M1 chips came out, I read and watched many of the reviews. Imagine applying that thinking to your client’s needs, and mastering what you need to know to make it happen. Imaginative thinking (aka ‘outside the box’ thinking) connects different tools together to make something not seen before–in this instance using FileMaker, PHP, and WorkFlow to track time on an Apple watch. The Workflow app makes it possible to run workflows on Apple Watch. I have made a workflow as the picture show to the left. With this app it’s possible to script different tasks on iPhone or iPad. In this article I use Apple Watch in combination with FileMaker. So when I see someone like Robert Samnegård of FileMakerBloggen connecting FileMaker to an Apple Watch via a third party program like Workflow, I know I am seeing the future:Ī while ago I wrote an article about how to control a scoreboard from a distance with Bluetooth headset and I joked a little bit about waiting for the imaginary Go app to Apple Watch. It’s easy to get started, has plenty of powerful features, and it let’s you produce features faster than other programming languages.

The future of FileMaker is in it’s connectivity with the rest of the world.Īnd FileMaker has opened the channels of communication to the rest of the world with a variety of tools:įileMaker is a great tool for controlling what happens in your environment.
