MacFamilyTree creates data visualizations including a classic descendant chart, timelines, and a virtual globe indicating locations of key events in the lives of subjects. Reports can be generated for individual entries or entire families.[5]

MobileFamilyTree is a mobile application available for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch users with near-identical features, optionally allowing users to synchronize with MacFamilyTree using iCloud integration.[6]

While internally it uses the Core Data API to store and modify information, it imports and exports GEDCOM files for compatibility with other genealogical tools.[7][8]
