MacFamilyTree 10 offers you a completely new edit section, which combines the best of two worlds: You can see all important facts about persons or families at a glance, or comfortably add further details.

Work on the same family tree with an unlimited number of MacFamilyTree and MobileFamilyTree users in real time, at no additional cost. All changes to your tree will be transferred and are available to all other users invited by you within a few seconds. Apple is known for placing the utmost priority on data protection.

I've been using this software for over a decade. It is always improving. What is most important to me is that it not a windows app that they've ported to Mac. It looks and feels like a Mac app.

I looked at different apps before deciding on MacFamily Tree - the graphs, reports and charts looked interesting so decided to buy it. I've two relatives who sent me their ancestry files - in less than a minute I imported the data! I'm blown away by how fast it is, and how superb and detailed the reports are.

This app is worth its weight in gold just for the photo colorizing feature! The reports are incredibly useful if you like to keep a paper trail of your work. When traveling to visit family in Europe, it has been nice to have an offline version of the family tree to carry with me.
