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!

Jörg KösterFileMaker developer and owner at JK Solutions in Germany

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.

John RenfrewDeveloper and Director, Attitude UK

“The pace of updates is fantastic. Thanks for a great product.”

The GUI and feature set are very impressive.

Mark LemmLemtech Enterprises Inc.

The new Database Report Card provides a comprehensive, diagnostic measurement that identifies and quantifies the quality of your app’s code.

NEW! The Database Report Card

Get a high level overview of your FileMaker system. The Database Report Card is designed to give you an indication of the complexity and potential problems in a FileMaker application – indispensable for a project that you have inherited!

NEW! Call Chain Visualization.

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

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

You can export the results of any search or query to a CSV file. This makes it easy to build your own tools like this Custom Function checker we show in the above video.

Detects Broken References
Finds broken references and unreferenced objects so you can fix them or remove them.
Find Where Something is Used
Shows where specific scripts, global variables, layouts, fields and custom functions are used.
Search for Any Text String
Includes a free-form text search to find virtually any string used in your app.
DiffViewer
Documents the differences between two versions of a solution using the DiffViewer.

Modern Flexible Interface
Displays details in a modern, customizable interface to meet your specific needs.
Code Snippet Library
Makes it easy to copy snippets of code and paste into another FileMaker database. It basically turns any DDR into a code snippet library. Watch Video
Stay Focused
Eliminates disruptions to your workflow and coding mindset to help you operate at maximum productivity throughout the day. You will use it as part of your regular FileMaker development practice throughout the day and will wonder how you ever survived without it.
Supported Versions
Works with FileMaker Pro Advanced 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16. Runs on Macs and Windows PCs.

Automated DDR Creation

FMPerception is so fast, you’ll find you want to automate the DDR creation step. We have some documentation on a few ways to do that. Here is video showing how we did it with Applescript.
