Heredis is about to launch new genealogy programs for Mac and for iOS, available on June 21, 2012.
Heredis for Mac is changing genealogy. Using all the latest development technologies, it is based on an environment entirely re-thought from A to Z. Compatible with Mac, PC and iOS platforms, it will communicate with the Heredis Blue Suite. The Heredis Blue Suite is re-inventing genealogy and offers a whole new vision of this science, because all the Heredis programs communicate with each other. It offers a unique range of pro-grams adapted to each genealogy, be it for Mac, for PC or for iOS.
MONTPELLIER, France – June 21, 2012Heredis presents today a preview of its software for Mac that will be available for download on June 21, 2012, at www.heredis.com. This major work is accompanied by the release of a version for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and is part of a new era. Never has any other genealogy software offered so many astonishing functions. Heredis is just simply packed with bright ideas.
{ Synchronization }
A genealogy always to hand? This is possible with Heredis. Whether you have a Mac, a PC, an iPhone or an iPad, He-redis is always compatible with each of these platforms. At any moment, a change may be made on any device. The genealogist may boast that his/her genealogy is always right up-to-date on all devices and the data may be exchan-ged easily with other genealogists: send a branch to a cousin who has a Mac, recover a friend’s file from an iPhone, synchronize a work on the family computer and an iPad. Synchronizing with Heredis allows you to have exactly the same information in more than one place.
{ An iOS application }
Much more than just a Gedcom viewer, the application for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch has all the key features of Heredis. Add or delete an individual? Exchange files between several computers, Mac or PC? Control for duplicates? Recover media in Photos. Display a family tree chart and print it? Search for a place in the Index and see how to use it? Manage sources? It does all these things. And much more. Everything it does is synchronized on the computer.
{ Data Entry, one of the Heredis strong points }
Entering data into the software represents 80% of work time for a genealogist. Therefore Heredis for Mac has prepa-red tools for each genealogy to enter data in its own specific way. Because you have the choice, it lets you make the right choice. By entering data on the Family Group Data tab, the genealogist can save up to 50% of time spent on data entry. Heredis for Mac also has an interface which is easy to manage and is accessible to all. Heredis thus becomes an extension of the user. It adapts itself totally to your work methods and not the reverse. Personalize your workspace, open, close, move the panel tools. Simply add or delete data. Adapt your toolbar: add the Root Person button or the Consistency button. The drag and drop function is present throughout the application.
{ Write the book of your family history }
Heredis will write up the history of ancestors for the genealogist. The illustrated book allows you to have a fully cus-tomized document written automatically. Here is the opportunity for making an original gift for a birth or a wedding, or to present this beautiful work at a family gathering. The ADVANTAGE: view at a glance all the documents you have on your ancestors in the illustrated book. A real family photo album for genealogy.
{ Conviviality of the tree charts }
The ultimate goal for a genealogist is to share his research with his family. Heredis for Mac highlights the work of the genealogist by using «New Generation» tree charts. These tree charts are not only pleasing to look at. They are simple to construct. Play with the panels to personalize your tree chart. Use your intuition. Construction is so simple. The for-matting of the boxes is done with the same tools as with all Mac applications. A double-click in the list of individuals who are on the tree chart and the tree chart of the person selected appears instantly. A multitude of choices is offered to the genealogist with the tree chart templates which have been drawn by a professional artist.
{ Details that count }
The development team has concentrated on optimizing every detail of the Heredis software. That is why when ente-ring data, the gender is entered automatically according to the given name. But for ‘Lindsey’, it allows the possibility to choose for a man or for a woman. That is why also that if the genealogist cannot find the birthplace of one of his ancestors, Heredis places it on a map built into the software. The genealogist will also appreciate adding or deleting fields to the lists with a simple click, moving the columns, changing layout, accessing whatever person with a click, then back to the list…
Heredis for Mac - more than 200 useful functions.
Heredis is to date the best genealogy software for Mac. Not only because it is loaded with innovative and unique features, but also because the addition of all these features makes the Heredis software unbeatable.
For several months, many beta testers have been selected to test the Mac version and the iOS version of Heredis, in order to adapt to the specificities of each country and provide high quality software. Here are a few of the first impressions recorded on the test forum:

many Mac. Heredis wins hands down on all its competition. I will be using Heredis for many years to come. Easy to use,
well designed and easy to adapt to.” Siliconlab
“ I’ve downloaded the beta version of the new Heredis. It looks very impressive.” Stephen
“ Just installed Heredis and it is an absolute doddle to install it!! I am running an iMAC 27. It runs so smoothly and
seamlessly so far! Interface is lovely and very user friendly! ” Hoprigg
