GenDetective® was designed to run on a Windows® computer. However, commercial programs exist that enable Mac OS X computers to run Windows programs. GenDetective will run on a Mac using any one of these Mac OS X programs:
| Apple BootCamp | Parallels Desktop for Mac |
| VirtualBox | VMWare Fusion |
GEDCOM files from native Mac genealogy programs that GenDetective supports are:
| Family Tree Maker for Mac | iFamily for Leopard |
| MacFamilyTree | Reunion |
If you are using a different Mac genealogy software program that you would like us to support, please email us at: Please support my Mac program.
In addition to supporting the above Mac genealogy programs, GenDetective supports the majority of Windows® genealogy software products.
If using a Windows® hosted environment on the Mac is not an option for you, a native solution for Mac OS X and Linux will be available late next year. Check back with this page periodically for any updates.
