Roadmap

building in the open, 2026

What FM Fathom is becoming, grouped by what it does for you. We ship regularly, so this page moves. No dates, no promises we can't keep. Just the work.

understand deeply

The full catalog done

Every table, field, script, layout, account, value list, custom menu, and theme, with multi-file solutions modeled as one linked system.

Relationship graph usable now

Explore outward from any table occurrence, one hop or three. Functional today, and still very much in development.

Version comparison usable now

Side-by-side diffs of any two versions of a solution, down to the attribute level. See exactly what changed between exports.

Scheduled exports planned

Script the XML export inside your own solution and upload on a schedule, so FM Fathom stays current without manual exports.

analysis

Production evidence done

We ingest the full set of FileMaker Server logs and join them to the catalog: server health, incidents, expensive calls, and a zoomable schedule timeline, all from what actually ran.

Security & script audits done

Whole-file security review, step-by-step script walkthroughs, and dead-weight reports.

Unused elements usable now

Elements nothing references, with the evidence for each verdict. Conservative on purpose, and we're eager for feedback before we call it done.

talk to your solution

The AI connector done

24 read-only MCP tools that let your AI assistant answer questions about your solution.

MCP connectors done

Point any MCP-capable AI client at your solution: sign in with the connector URL, or use an access key.

Built-in assistant done

An assistant inside the app. Bring your own key (Anthropic, OpenAI, or OpenRouter) and use the model you like, as long as it can do tool calling.

build within it

Grounded authoring usable now

Compose scripts, calculations, and fields as paste-ready snippets, checked against your actual schema. Available today through the AI assistant.

ship to the web safely

Web-readiness checks usable now

Is this table safe over the Data API or OData? Answered with the full privilege chain reconciled, down to per-field validation rules.

built for teams

Collaborate on any entity done

A kanban board for the work itself: assign, discuss, and track any entity in your solution (a script, a field, a layout), not just audit findings.

Shared clients done

Invite collaborators with their own FM Fathom accounts and share clients selectively: one teammate sees one client, another sees all three, any overlap you like.

Slack connection coming soon

Connect a client to a Slack workspace so mentions land where your team already talks.

runs fully local

macOS app in alpha

The whole engine as a desktop app, now in alpha testing. Your client's data never leaves your machine.

Local AI models in progress

On the macOS app, connect a local model instead of a cloud key. If your machine can run a model that handles tool calling, your questions never leave the device.
