Polar Studio enables you to develop business applications within a browser on virtually any device. It provides a full-featured IDE that gives you all tools you would expect.

The blazingly fast editor provides full keyboard support, making you forget you are developing within a browser within minutes. Make a shortcut to the development environment on your desktop or in your start-menu and you can develop full windowed in a progressive web app.

You can test-drive your application within a panel in your development environment and directly see the result of each change you make. Debug code in the debugger, that provides all features you expect, like single stepping, inspecting variables and so on.

The development environment contains all kind of tools to make your life easier, such as:

• Take an existing database and in one run import all tables with the Database Synchronisation tool. This tool also detects and import all changes that have been made to the data model directly.
• Create or modify tables and fields with the built-in table designer. All changes you make will automatically create the required SQL commands to deploy your application on other databases.
• Design interactive database forms using built in controls, controls provided by Components or create your own controls where needed.
• With the table editor you can specify properties and permissions per field/per user group.
• Almost everywhere in the application, you can set properties and permissions with a default value, but override these properties for specific groups where wanted.
• Write custom events using Polar Script, our successor of VBA. The advanced code editor provides real-time error checking and context-sensitive code completion.
• Create advanced workflows with out integrated workflow editor. These workflows are completely integrated in the advanced permissions mechanism of Polar Studio
• Make your application multi-language out of the box.
• Create advanced reports with our easy to use PolarReporting tool.

The Polar Assistant in Polar Studio enhances the development process by integrating ChatGPT technology, making it easier to quickly build customer-pleasing systems. It facilitates the creation of new screens and intelligently organizes tables, streamlining development tasks to better meet user needs.

This tool also offers assistance with code and functionality enhancements by suggesting improvements that can be directly applied to applications. Polar Assistant can also help design data models and workflows for tables, providing actionable suggestions that developers can implement immediately to optimize productivity and project outcomes.

Start developping your application with a no-code approach. Create tables with fields, user-groups, forms etc. Set permissions, relationships and limit values for fields. Without a single line of code, you can already create an advanced application.

Enhance your application by setting more specific permissions with scripted expressions; Write simple event-handlers to perform additional checks; Create buttons on your forms and let them take actions with one or two lines of code.

Professionalize your application by defining Reports, calling webservices or even creating your own webservices. All coding is done with the robust, rich and easy to use programming language Polar Script.

Polar Studio simplifies the migration of databases and applications from Microsoft Access by providing robust import mechanisms to seamlessly transfer data. The development approach in Polar Studio mirrors that of Access, making it familiar to users transitioning their projects. Additionally, the programming language used, Polar Script, draws inspiration from VBA but incorporates numerous modern enhancements to expand functionality and improve performance. Polar Studio ensures a smooth and efficient transition for users looking to upgrade their database systems with minimal disruption.

Polar Studio enables developers to create a single application that operates seamlessly across all devices. This universal approach minimizes the need for multiple versions of an app, simplifying development and deployment. While device-specific tweaks and configurations can be applied as necessary, the core of the application remains singular, facilitating easier updates and maintenance. This not only streamlines the development process but also eliminates the complexity of managing and publishing apps across various platform-specific app stores with each update.

With a proven track record of over two decades in securing business applications, our commitment to security is unwavering. We have successfully passed many PEN-tests, demonstrating our ability to protect your applications against potential threats. This steadfast focus on security allows you to concentrate on enhancing the functionality of your applications, knowing that the backbone of your software's security is solid and reliable.

From the start, our emphasis has been on developing applications for businesses with stringent security needs. Our systems are designed to support multiple user groups, ensuring that each group accesses only the information they are authorized to view. This approach not only secures sensitive data but also enforces proper data usage and governance across different levels of your organization, further strengthening the security framework essential for your business operations.

Polar Studio allows you to tailor your application's security to meet specific requirements. You can define user groups, set granular permissions, and implement scripted safeguards to ensure that your application adheres closely to your security needs. Additionally, Polar Studio supports seamless integration with OAuth, enhancing the security framework by allowing standardized, secure API access. This combination of customizable security measures and modern authentication protocols ensures that your application is both versatile and secure.

Every application developed with Polar Studio is multi-lingual ready from the start, thanks to our unique Messages system. This system allows messages to be defined in multiple languages, accommodating global user bases effortlessly. Furthermore, these messages can incorporate recursive elements or even scripted expressions, adding a layer of dynamic content that adapts based on user interactions or conditions.

Polar Studio offers flexible hosting options to suit a variety of deployment needs. Whether you prefer SaaS hosting for ease of access and maintenance, dedicated hosting for enhanced control and security, or on-premise solutions for complete data sovereignty, the choice is entirely yours. Each option provides a clear migration path, making it easy to switch as your needs evolve. This flexibility ensures that your hosting solution can adapt to your requirements, providing optimal performance and scalability for your applications.

Revitalize your legacy applications with Polar Studio by migrating and modernizing systems originally built in MS Access, Foxpro, Visual Basic, PHP, or other platforms. Polar Studio provides the tools and capabilities to bring outdated applications up to modern standards, enhancing their functionality, security, and user interface without losing the essential features and data that your business relies on. This transition not only improves performance but also ensures compatibility with current technologies, giving your legacy applications a new lease on life.

At Polar Studio, our commitment to long-term support is fundamental, especially for professionals in the Health Care, Finance, and Industrial sectors where life cycle management is critical. We provide robust support and continual updates to ensure that the applications you build today not only meet current standards but also evolve with technological advancements.

This enduring support guarantees that your applications will stand the test of time, maintaining functionality and security across their lifecycle and helping you meet both current and future challenges with confidence.
