We’re happy to announce the launch of a new major version of our popular screencasting app Screenium! Create tutorials, record your gameplay or other videos – Screenium 3.2 records whatever happens on your screen. The convenient editor lets you cut your recordings and add transitions, effects, and fade-ins. You can also export or share your screencast, or upload it directly to video platforms such as YouTube or Vimeo.
Perfect performance at 5K resolution
Previous versions of Screenium were already able to smoothly record an impressive 60 frames per second at 4 K. Version 3.2 now offers even better performance and effortlessly handles even 5 k recordings at maximum frame rate. No other screencasting app on the market offers smoother recording or is more powerful even for graphics-intensive applications such as games – making Screenium 3.2 best-in-class in terms of performance!
Scaled recording – reduced memory usage
It is not always necessary to record screen content at the highest possible resolution. To minimize memory usage, Screenium 3.2 offers a “Scaled Recording“ feature, which optionally scales to a lower resolution (for example 25% or 50%).This significantly reduces memory load, particularly for very long recordings.
HEVC/H.265
As of macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Apple has been using the new HEVC video standard, which is also referred to as H.265. All recordings created with Screenium can now be exported in HVEC format. This achieves the same quality as H.264, but significantly reduces the file size; of course, you can also import HVEC videos.
Master/Slave audio tracks
Screenium 3.2 offers a convenient new feature to manage multiple audio tracks: for example, if you’d like to add background music and a narrator voice to your recording, you can now define one of the two as the master track. The other track – in our specific example the music track – will then automatically be set as the background track and played back at a lower volume.
Record Keystrokes
Screenium 3.2 has yet another handy new feature in store: you can now optionally record keystrokes. To protect your privacy, passwords remain hidden at all times – no password entered during a screencast recording will be displayed and/or recorded. The editor allows you to place the virtual keyboard at any position in your screencast, show or hide the keyboard during select sections, and specify the desired display mode.
We have just released a huge MacFamilyTree update. If you are a customer of version 8, you’ll surely appreciate that it’s another free one for you. New customers pay just US$ 59.99. Have you already launched the Mac App Store? Then you are going to see that Apple is more than impressed with the latest release and features MacFamilyTree 8.3 big time.
MacFamilyTree 8.3 offers a greatly improved Interactive Tree. It’s way faster, it’s more flexible – and from now on it’s even printable. A lot of customers asked for it and we are hereby fulfilling this wish.
Apart from the all-new Interactive Tree, MacFamilyTree 8.3 comes with a completely new merge feature. Combining two separate trees is one of the most challenging tasks in computer genealogy – especially if there are duplicate or contradictory entries. We are proud to announce that MacFamilyTree 8.3 is the first genealogy app to get this issue right.
MacFamilyTree 8.3 (and MobileFamilyTree 8.3 for iPhone and iPad) are available from the Mac App Store or iOS App Store – free for all users of MacFamilyTree 8 or MobileFamilyTree 8. Apple automatically converts the US$ price (without VAT/Sales Tax) into you local currency.
Interactive 2D Diagrams
While iFinance’s wide range of clearly arranged charts and reports has always provided great at-a-glance overviews of your income and expenses, version 4.4 takes the reporting feature to a new level! Its 2D diagrams are now interactive – you can optionally display auxiliary lines for better readability or have the mouse pointer show the exact amount corresponding to its current position by simply placing the mouse (or your finger if you’re using iFinance for iPhone or iPad) over any spot in the diagram.
Time Comparison Charts
iFinance 4.4 features time comparison charts as an entirely new chart type. Specify two time periods you want to compare and iFinance will indicate any increases or reductions in spending. The time comparison feature also lets you display comparison bars for absolute or relative comparisons. You can make comparisons by day, week, month, year, and any custom time periods you enter manually.
Reports and Diagrams Folder
iFinance 4.4 provides a new feature to help you organize your reports and charts. If you’ve saved more than one report or diagram to a given folder, iFinance will now let you display up to four of them at a single glance. Of course you can also continue to display one statistic at a time.

MacFamilyTree has been available for almost 20 years now. During this time, we kept receiving one frequent request from our customers: How can I work on my family tree and genealogical research with other family members? We have great news for you, because MacFamilyTree 8.1 and MobileFamilyTree 8.1 open up a new era in digital genealogy.
MacFamilyTree and MobileFamilyTree 8.1 for iPhone and iPad come with the brand new CloudTree feature – it is now possible for the first time to work on the same family tree with any number of MacFamilyTree and MobileFamilyTree users in real time, without any 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 its highest-level data protection standards. CloudTree operates in compliance with these very standards.
Only you decide what happens to your data
Apple is known for its high data protection standards. MacFamilyTree’s CloudTree Sync feature operates under the same strict standards. Access to your family tree is restricted to yourself and only you decide who gets to see your data. Other people will only be able to view your family tree if you’ve sent them an invitation.
Real-time collaboration
Invite other users to work on the same family tree with you. Any changes will be synchronized and available on other users’ devices in a matter of seconds. Looking at the change history, you’ll be able to quickly identify which changes were made by which user. If you prefer, you can make your family tree available as a read-only version instead. Please note: Sync with other iCloud users is currently restricted to 5000 entries per “entry type”. An entry type can be a person, a family, a place, a note, etc. You may sync 5000 entries for EACH of these types.
Sync via CloudTree – and still have all your information stored locally
Although all entries are synced via CloudTree, all your information is still available locally on your Mac, iPhone or iPad, allowing you to continue your genealogical research when your device is offline. CloudTree will automatically sync any changes once you reconnect to the Internet.
Sync in record time
Instead of having to sync the complete document, CloudTree allows you to sync only the changes you’ve made to it. While this may sound like an obvious feature to many users, it is not. In the past, iCloud had to upload and download the complete file. However, going forward, if you enter a person event, CloudTree will sync only this one item. Get ready for a dramatically accelerated syncing experience requiring very little data transfer. This allows you to easily sync your data over mobile networks as well.
Creating a revolution in digital genealogy
There are countless providers and services for publishing and synchronizing genealogical information. However, CloudTree Sync&Share’s unique range of features remains unrivaled. No other service provides such speedy synchronization across any number of devices – directly from within the app, at no additional cost, and in line with the highest data protection standards.
