FileMaker Developers around the world wonder how they ever lived without FMPerception. Here’s what they say.

Thanks a lot for the new Report Card feature. That’s really fantastic and extremely helpful. For me, FMPerception is the best FileMaker developer tool ever!

FMPerception instantly became one of my ‘can’t develop without’ tools – for its speed of analysis, and ability to query deep into every part of a solution.

Call Chain Visualization literally adds another dimension to your perception of how your scripts work together. Follow the flow of your scripts from top to bottom with this two-dimensional flow chart of your scripts.

This interactive advanced visualization can give you a quick overview of the complexity of a group of scripts.

Plus, FMPerception does all this and more:

Every Detail Exposed
Displays every detail of your FileMaker database structure in seconds by simply opening your FileMaker Pro Advanced Database Design Report (DDR) with FMPerception.
Multifile Support
Generates a complete view of your multi-file solution so you can see everything in one place.
Security Audit
Identifies security concerns like accounts with missing passwords and scripts that run with full access privilege.
Speed Up Slow Layouts
Detects layout objects that may be bogging down your solution, such as objects that have local CSS or portals that require lots of relationships to resolve.

Find Upstream Scripts

Upstream Scripts - vimeo Video

If you ever need to change how a given script is called by other scripts, you’ll need to quickly find all the scripts that call it. Watch this video to see how quickly you can answer questions like this.

Build Your Own Tools

FileMaker Version Support

FMPerception works with FileMaker Pro, versions 12 through 18, anything with a .fmp12 file extension.

FileMaker versions 12 through 16 require FileMaker Pro Advanced, which was a separate product. FileMaker 17 and higher are only advanced for the Desktop. So everyone can use FMPerception 🙂

We support the product on any version of FileMaker officially supported. See here for more details.

It does not work with FileMaker Pro 11 and earlier.
