2022 APP STORE AWARDS
Mac App of the Year
MacFamilyTree 10
The Best in Genealogy
With gorgeous interactive visualisations and the power of machine learning, MacFamilyTree helped us connect to our roots like never before.
– App Store Editors
MacFamilyTree has been a must-have tool for genealogy buffs for nearly 25 years, capturing where our families have been, who we are and where we’re going. The 10th major version, released this year, was even more of a treasure.
Interactive 3D models you won’t find in any other app or service bring your family’s history vividly to life. Spin the Virtual Globe to pinpoint cities and towns where relatives have lived – and migrated between – over the decades. Or use the Person View to remember individuals by browsing immigration documents, job histories, awards and other ephemera.
Want something more personal? MacFamilyTree turns dates and data into a written narrative. (Just go to the Reports section and click Narrative.) Got a box full of photos or documents in the attic? Use the app’s machine-learning tools to scan, enhance and colourise them.
Whether it’s newspaper clippings, school records or military ID cards, cataloging them all takes just a few clicks. No matter how many family members you add or photos you want to scan, MacFamilyTree handles the task with ease.

Our favourite feature
How the app gives us so many ways to add details about our families: import directly from websites, manually enter notes, pull from the massive non-profit FamilySearch database, snap a scan with our iPhone and more.
