MacFamilyTree 8
MacFamilyTree 8 is a genealogy and family tree application for macOS that helps users research, organize and visualize their family history.

AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find recent public information about MacFamilyTree 8's Apple Silicon compatibility status. Given that we are now 16 months away from the September 2028 deadline when Rosetta 2 is removed from macOS, it is important to determine whether the developer plans a native Apple Silicon build. Contact Synium Software directly (via their website or support email) to ask whether MacFamilyTree 8 has a native Apple Silicon version available or planned before macOS 28 ships. If the developer confirms no native build is forthcoming, you have time to evaluate alternatives like Reunion, FamilySearch, or Gramps—all of which have native Apple Silicon versions—before the Intel-only build stops working entirely.
