In 2016, FileMaker Cloud was introduced, including a Linux server (CentOS), which was offered exclusively through the Amazon Marketplace.

It is available in desktop, server, iOS and web-delivery configurations. A client version was released for iOS devices in July 2010. FileMaker server briefly ran on Linux, but Linux support was abandoned with FileMaker 7, thereafter only running on Windows or macOS servers.

Since 1992 it has been available for Microsoft Windows and for the classic Mac OS and macOS, and can be used in a cross-platform environment. It was succeeded by FileMaker Pro in 1990. FileMaker evolved from a DOS application, but was then developed primarily for the Apple Macintosh and released in April 1985. It integrates a database engine with a graphical user interface (GUI) and security features, allowing users to modify the database by dragging new elements into layouts, screens, or forms. FileMaker Pro is a cross-platform relational database application from Claris International, a subsidiary of Apple Inc.
