Software for Mac and iOS

Visit Synium Software

Synium Software is a German software company based in Mainz that has developed applications exclusively for Mac, iPhone and iPad since 1998. The company focuses on native Apple platforms rather than cross-platform development, covering areas such as family history, finance, graphics, screencasting and screenwriting.

Its product lineup includes Logoist for graphics design, MacFamilyTree and MobileFamilyTree for genealogy, iFinance for managing finances, Screenium for screencasting, Vectorize for converting bitmaps to vectors, DockThings for launching items, and FiveActs for writing screenplays. The apps run on macOS and/or iOS, with the current versions supporting macOS 26 Tahoe and iOS 26.

The apps are sold as individual purchases rather than subscriptions, with separate pricing for new customers and upgrades on MacFamilyTree. Several products are listed with reduced prices alongside their standard prices. A newsletter provides product announcements, updates and discounts.
