MacFamilyTree gives genealogy a facelift: modern, interactive, convenient and fast. Explore your family tree and your family history in a way generations of chroniclers before you would have loved. The app helps you capture your family history, and turns data and facts into conclusive reports and visually impressive charts. Explore your personal family history and discover your origins!

MacFamilyTree offers numerous options for you to capture and visualize your family history. Now matter how you want to illustrate your family relationships - the tool has the right solution for you, offering different types of reports, charts or the innovative Virtual Tree 3D view. The possibilities are nearly endless - optionally synchronize your data via iCloud, access a huge genealogical online archive to assist your research, create websites and family books or do your research on the go with MobileFamilyTree, available separately for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Fast, reliable, smooth - and truly a feast for the eyes: You'll notice right away that MacFamilyTree is a native macOS application, exclusively and perfectly tailored to Mac. Developed specifically for macOS, the tool harnesses the advanced and powerful core technologies of Apple's latest operating systems. Thanks to CoreAnimation, the interface works incredibly smooth while providing a plethora of animations and interactive elements. CoreData guarantees maximum processing speed, and SceneKit is the technology behind the visually striking Interactive Tree. As Mac Family Tree runs as a 64-bit application, it uses every bit of processing power. This is the type of genealogy that generations of chroniclers could only have dreamed of!

Note: Limited functionality in the unregistered version. Requires 64-bit processor.
