macOS 12 Monterey, macOS 13 Ventura, macOS 14 Sonoma or macOS 15 Sequoia is required to use MacFamilyTree 11. Fully optimized for M1-, M2-, M3- and M4-based Macs.
Taking a quick look at your research results, navigating through your family tree, editing or adding persons directly - it's all possible with the perfect starting point for your research, the Interactive Tree. You can view up to eight generations including siblings, choose between different angles to look at your family tree or optionally view and download persons directly from FamilySearch and add information about the persons currently displayed. The Interactive Tree in MacFamilyTree 11 has been completely redeveloped and is your indispensable companion in researching your family history.
Places – Finally done right
Being able to track places associated with events and persons may sound trivial, but MacFamilyTree 11 is the world's first application designed to properly map these details for both the present and the past. Our completely redesigned place management tool allows you to search and document any relevant or prominent sites (cemeteries, registry offices, parks etc.), not just cities or towns. Our application's pre-installed database contains a wealth of useful details, including multilingual and historical names, points of interest, landmarks, and more.
But that's not all – we've added another amazing new feature to MacFamilyTree's place management: the application now offers a variety of different templates to reflect and accommodate different countries' administrative systems. You can now specify exactly how you want MacFamilyTree to categorize your location data, taking into account the number and types of administrative levels of the country in question, be it districts or federal states, counties, regions, or departments. We are proud that the app now supports all countries, regardless of their administrative systems.
Charts – Experience your family tree
Use the app's visually striking charts and views to create conclusive illustrations. No matter if you want to visualize your close relatives or take a look at your complete family tree - MacFamilyTree offers you the right tool. All views are displayed immediately and without delay, allowing for easy navigation through your personal history.
There are numerous chart and viewing options such as the Hourglass Chart, Ancestor Chart, Timeline, Double Ancestor Chart, Statistics, Name Distribution (by first and last names), Statistics Maps (based on Apple Maps), Fan Chart, Kinship Chart, Genogram, or Globe.
Reports – Comprehensive Information
MacFamilyTree 11 will show you all important information about persons or families in a compact and elegant manner. Comprehensive formatting options for your reports, integration of images and illustrated charts as well as printing and exporting options provide you with the greatest level of flexibility - at your next family gathering, you'll not only be able to demonstrate all the details concerning a given relative, but you can also present them in a larger context.
Choose between many options such as the Person Report, Family Report, Kinship Report, Narrative Report, Places List, Events List, Special Features Report, Person Analysis, Anniversaries, Person Lists, Marriage Lists, Plausibility Report, Source List, Task List, Map Report, Descendant Report, Status Report, Today Report, Timeline Report, and more. All reports can be designed or decorated to your liking, and you can even add a coat of arms. It's also perfect for relatives from another country: All reports can be generated in 15 languages.
Colorize Photos, Enhance Images
MacFamilyTree can breathe new life into old black and white family photos, portraying them in color for your family’s enjoyment. Bring new gloss to precious family memories, thanks to MacFamilyTree’s Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning based Colorization feature. For the first time, view cherished family photos through the eyes of your ancestors — during a time when color photography was still uncommon. MacFamilyTree is also capable of enhancing the quality of images and legibility of documents – again, thanks to Artificial Intelligence.
New in MacFamilyTree 11: You can also remove imperfections from photos with a single click, such as creases, tears, scratches, and other visible signs of use. We also take great care to protect your privacy – the photos you edit are stored on our server, but we do not have access to any of your data, ensuring that none of your private information is stored with us.
Edit Charts & Print Wallpapers
Need to customize charts? MacFamilyTree comes with an integrated chart editor, allowing you to customize every part of a chart: re-position elements, alter fonts, colors, and text or remove parts of a chart that should not be visible, to meet your exact expectations.
Also, you can use the chart editor to easily create large wallpapers on your home printer: Huge charts can be split up into a customizable number of pages in order to print out gigantic wallpapers.
Family Tree Statistics
MacFamilyTree lets you create detailed statistics about your family tree. For example, you'll be able to see the average age at which your ancestors married or passed away. MacFamilyTree will also show you the frequency of last names in your family tree, how long it took after a wedding for the first child to be born, or which is the month when most couples married, and so much more.
Virtual Globe
The Virtual Globe is the perfect tool to see how your family has spread across the globe over the course of time. Did some of your ancestors set out for America some 300 years ago? The freely rotatable globe shows where members of your family settled and where your ancestors lived. The Virtual Globe automatically displays events such as births, weddings, emigrations, or funerals. The convenient places function will then swiftly provide you with the coordinates for all of these places, so you can view them in the globe.
Statistic Maps
Statistic Maps are a unique way to combine facts, geography and chronology in just one amazing view. Take a glance at the world map and discover where some of your ancestors grew particularly old, where and when there was a particularly large number of children being born and where the ancestors in your family tree were buried.
MacFamilyTree comes with new statistic maps that can do so much more. For example, use heat maps to visualize information and see the entirety of your tree's statistical information on a beautiful map.
The reinvention of search
You want to search your tree for “John,” whose surname was either “Kramer” or “Cramer,” born either in 1945 or 1955? That sounds like a simple question – yet so far, no software is able to provide an answer to that on the fly. With MacFamilyTree, we offer you a completely new and innovative approach to finding information in your tree. How does it work? By replacing “searching” with “filtering”!
Either create your own search queries or rely on one of the many pre-configured suggestions, which can be customized as desired, or saved as a new “Smart Filter”. Also very handy: Let’s say you set “all people who have emigrated from Germany or France to the USA” as a search filter, you can directly create a Person Group from the results.
Smart Filters - Intelligent Search and Filters
MacFamilyTree 11 offers the most powerful filters you'll ever see in a genealogy application. With the new Smart Filters, you can now limit the number of records displayed to those that are relevant to your current research activities. They can be applied to persons, families, sources, places or to-dos. This way, you can define a filter such as "Display all married men from York that I've downloaded via FamilySearch and for whom media is available".
