On the Mac, it's FileMaker,[1] which was released in 1985. Claris is a subsidiary of Apple.

So glad to see Filemaker is still alive! I had thought it had gone in one of Apple's software culls years ago.

I looked at FileMaker a few years ago because it would’ve been a nice setup for a semi-technical acquaintance. And then I saw its pricing, and we went in a different direction.

The father of a girl I dated in college (circa 2000s) built an entire student tracking system using FileMaker to use at the High School he was the Principal of.

We didn't date for long, but I'd be curious to know how long that system ran.
