MacFamilyTree 10
MacFamilyTree 10 is out. I finally, finally gave up on satisfactorily syncing with FamilyTreeMaker, and in fact I've given up the dream of syncing with anything. I've moved all my genealogy stuff to my MacBookAir and use MacFamilyTree there and MobileFamilyTree on my iPad. I research in Ancestry and FamilySearch and other places like usual, but I enter information by hand into my tree if I feel convinced by it. Otherwise I put it in my notes.
Wondering if other people are using MacFamilyTree and have pointers or tips? Or indeed any other procedural advice?
Also hoping to keep this community active. I went through the membership list a while ago and added people to my circle if they'd been posting relatively recently. A lot of members seem to have left DW though.

Legacy Family Tree has a free version which I used to use some years back: https://legacyfamilytree.com/
That's for Windows. I don't think there is anything free for Mac except Gramps, but I was not personally willing to commit to the learning curve:

I used to use Scrivener for writing (not genealogy) and found it overwhelming. For genealogy I'm using MacFamilyTree but also lots of documents in Pages and Numbers organized into folders by couple or by family name. I put my genealogy folder in the sidebar of my finder so I can go right to those files when I want them.
Not that anyone asked for all this advice but I can't sleep so I'm typing away LOL
