This may be a dumb idea, but does this mean that some enterprising developer could (or would) write something like the defunct BENTO?  If they did I would easily pay $20 per year for it and bet there are others like me out there.  

I have Filemaker Pro and find that it is super powerful but far beyond what I need in everyday life.

I used Filemaker (and Filemaker Pro) since the late 80s... but it got really stuck nowadays: No modern UI, no real synching, webUI (re-)moved to Server, restrictive 1-seat license, etc... and that for a price(!). That's why I abandoned it more and more over the years. First I was using Bento, which was quite cool and flexible, did sync with my devices, etc... but Filemaker nuked this as well. I think nobody really works/cares for Filemaker at the Filemaker HQ - they're just using it as cash cow...

For quick things I switched to the great Tap Forms (https://www.tapforms.com), which is a perfect replacement for all Bento and lots of Filemaker projects (Mac/iOS only) and the developer have an open ear for wishes and improvements - all this for a fraction of FM's price... Check it out... I like it!
