Native macOS family tree editor. Genealogy stays in plain GEDCOM files on your disk, with offline place search, exact kinship terms, and no accounts or telemetry.
Swarm is a native macOS app for building, visualizing, and exporting family trees. Your genealogy data stays as plain GEDCOM files on disk — no accounts, cloud, or telemetry. It offers tree and fan charts, a map of life events, offline place search, and exact kinship terms in English and Russian, including Soviet-era record encodings.
Why now: It was shared on Hacker News as a 'Show HN' post, drawing attention for its local-first, privacy-focused approach to genealogy.
Who it is for: Mac users researching family history who want their genealogy data in open GEDCOM files on their own disk, especially those working with Russian or Soviet-era records.
