MacFamilyTree is a commercial genealogy program for Mac OS X which helps users build their family tree, adding data about family members, including pictures and sound clips.[3] The program allows the user to add sources for the information, with the ability of including scanned documents.[4] It uses the Core Data API to store information internally but can import and export to the genealogy standard GEDCOM format.[5][6] The program can also create a set of web pages for family members, and optionally upload them to their website, or to iDisk, to share with others.[5][7]
MacFamilyTree also creates various types of diagrams, from the classic descendant chart to timelines and a virtual globe showing the locations of key events in the lives of family members. Reports can also be created for individual people, or families.[8][7] A mobile companion to it, MobileFamilyTree is also available for iPhone and iPod Touch users, and allows users to view and edit their family tree and synchronize it with MacFamilyTree.[9]
