HyperCard

HyperCard is an application program and a simple programming environment produced by Apple Computer which runs natively only in Mac OS versions 9 or earlier (it can still be used in Mac OS X's Classic mode). It most closely resembles a database application in concept, in that it stores information, but unlike traditional database systems HyperCard is graphical, very flexible and trivially easy to modify. In addition HyperCard includes HyperTalk, a powerful and easy to use programming language to manipulate data and the user interface. HyperCard users often used it as a programming system for Rapid Application Development as opposed to a database.

HyperCard was originally released with System 6 in 1987, and was finally withdrawn from sale in March 2004, although it had not been updated for many years at that time.
