Filemaker still exists:

     https://store.filemaker.com/individuals

     FileMaker for Individuals

     Purchase single licenses of FileMaker Pro Advanced.

     US$540.00


Searching Apt:

     $ apt-cache search filemaker
     kexi - integrated database environment for the Calligra Suite


STFW:

     http://kexi-project.org/

     KEXI is an open source visual database applications creator,
     a long-awaited competitor for programs like MS Access
     or Filemaker.


If you liked FileMaker, Kexi might be worth investigating.

It would help if you told us more about your requirements and use-cases 
-- e.g. flat-file, relational database, data modeling language, data 
manipulation language, scripting language, desktop, LAN, Internet, 
single-user, multi-user, IDE, native client, browser client (WWW 
server), SOAP, F/OSS, free as in beer, commercial, app licensing fees, 
support, etc.
