A big thanks to Richard Carlton for hosting multiple members of the Proof+Geist team on his FMTV podcast during Claris Engage 2025. Check out the conversations and the short demos surrounding multiple free-to-try or fully free tools for FileMaker development.

In this conversation, Dave Ramsey discusses FMLayoutLens and FMPerception. FMLayoutLens is a free, standalone app that allows you to copy layouts using your FM Clipboard and paste them into the FMLayoutLens app to then provide a 3d view of the data. FMPerception is a tool that allows you to see every detail of your database all in one place.
