About Family
Family is an application for Mac OS X 10.3 and higher that focuses on a single idea. What is that idea?
Simplicity in Genealogy
The following are some of the many features you will find in Family.
Family is a visually intuitive, attractive, and above-all easy to use application, where family associations are made by a click-and-drag, people are added and rearranged at a whim.
iLife and iSight
Family was designed from the ground up to be used by people during their day to day lives. Pictures and Stories are easily associated with each person including integration with iPhoto and iSight (or dv cameras). If you are at a family reunion you will easily be able to not only snap a photo with your built in iSight or external camera, but also jot down the information that is most important to you about each person, in a way that is intuitive and easy to use.
Story Telling
Story Telling is something that we here at Saltatory are pretty proud of. Whenever any of us gather with members of our family, there's always a story to tell about each person. Family lets you include each person's story -- or any other information you choose -- with full formatting, links, and images. You can also associate documents, such as scanned birth certificates and speeches, with each person; these will be stored with your Family album file so you don't have to keep track of them yourself.
