For Mac users
A genogram maker that actually works on Mac
Tired of GenoPro being Windows-only? Done wrestling with Parallels, CrossOver, or Boot Camp? We built something better.
The Mac user's genogram nightmare
"GenoPro is Windows-only"
The most popular genogram software has never released a Mac version. After 20+ years, Mac users are still waiting.
"Parallels costs $99/year"
Running Windows on your Mac means paying for virtualization software plus a Windows license. That's expensive for one app.
"CrossOver is glitchy"
Compatibility layers like CrossOver work sometimes, sort of. But you'll spend hours troubleshooting instead of creating genograms.
"Emulation drains my battery"
Running Windows in a VM eats your MacBook's battery and makes the fans spin up. Not ideal for client sessions.
From GenoPro's own FAQ: "Mac owners have been frustrated by their inability to run some excellent software that has only been created for the Windows platform."
