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.
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.{{cite web|title=MobileFamilyTree Tech Specs|url=https://www.syniumsoftware.com/mobilefamilytree/tech-specs|publisher=Synium Software GmbH|accessdate=2022-01-28}}
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.{{cite web|date=|title=MacFamilyTree|url=http://www.synium.de/products/macfamilytree/index.html|publisher=Synium Software|accessdate=2010-06-02}}{{cite web|date=|title=MacFamily Tree 5 Review|url=http://www.macworld.co.uk/digitallifestyle/reviews/index.cfm?reviewid=2479|publisher=MacWorld|accessdate=2010-06-02}}
