I’ve been building a few FileMaker tools and wanted to share them with the community.

There are now five free add-ons on Filesoft:

• Navigation Sidebar — menus and navigation for your layouts.
• Checklist Lite — checklists with notes for each step.
• Loan Desk — equipment loans, borrowers and returns.
• Stockroom — supplies, receipts, usage and stock adjustments.
• Contact Journal — contacts, conversation notes and follow-ups.

The four workspace add-ons run inside your existing FileMaker file, with a launcher and a Back to host button. Each keeps a shared collection for the file, rather than linking its records to individual host records.

You can find screenshots, installation instructions and downloads here:

FileMaker Pro is required. Please check each page for macOS compatibility and usage terms.

Downloads are free. Enter your name and email, and the site will email you a download link. You won’t be added to a marketing list.

If you try one, I’d be interested to hear how you use it—and anything that could work better.

Hi everyone,

I’ve added Time Ledger to the free Filesoft add-ons.

It gives you a workspace for recording project time, keeping activity notes and reviewing working-hour totals inside an existing FileMaker file. Time is entered manually; there’s no running timer.

The add-on creates one shared time collection per host file, with a launcher and a Back to host button. It doesn’t link time entries to individual host records.

FileMaker Pro is required. This release is intended for single-user desktop use on macOS. You’ll find compatibility details, installation guidance, and screenshots on the product page. The screenshots show the shared workflows in the standalone version.

The download is free. Enter your name and email to receive a download link—there’s no automatic marketing subscription.

If you try it in your own file, I’d welcome your feedback.

Thanks,
Plato
