A GenoPro alternative that runs in your browser
GenoPro has charted genograms since 1998, but it is Windows-only, stores files unencrypted, and never added AI or cloud sync. Genogram Pro gives you the same clinical genograms on any device, and imports your existing files over GEDCOM.
- Runs in any browser on Mac, Windows, Linux, and mobile
- AI assistant and one-click McGoldrick auto-arrange
- End-to-end encrypted, zero-knowledge client data
- Imports your GenoPro genograms over GEDCOM

Why people leave GenoPro
It only runs on Windows
The day you move to a Mac, GenoPro stops working. There is no Mac build, no web version, and no mobile app. A virtual machine or a spare Windows laptop is the only way back in.
Your files are stuck on one computer
GenoPro saves to a local drive with no sync. The genogram you started at the office is not on your laptop during a home visit or your tablet in session.
Nothing is encrypted
Client genograms sit as plain files on the hard drive. If the laptop is shared, lost, or stolen, so is the family and medical history inside.
Every line is placed by hand
There is no AI, and an auto-arrange that GenoPro's own documentation says to use only on small branches. Large multigenerational genograms mean positioning each node yourself.
The interface is from the early 2000s
Nested menus and small-icon toolbars. New users regularly report spending hours learning the software before producing a usable genogram.
Genogram Pro, the focused alternative
A dedicated genogram editor built for clinical and academic work, not a desktop relic or a generic diagram tool.
- Works in any browser
- Open your genograms from any device with a browser. Desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone. No download and no installation.
- 66+ relationship types
- 25 couple types, 37 emotional bonds, and 4 parent-child types, each carrying structured data you can view and edit.
- AI assistant
- Describe a family in plain language and the AI builds or edits the genogram, following McGoldrick notation.
- One-click auto-arrange
- Layout that follows McGoldrick rules: male left, female right, children in birth order, generations on consistent levels.
- End-to-end encryption
- Encrypted with a master password only you know. Zero-knowledge architecture means we cannot read your genograms, even on our servers.
- GEDCOM import
- Export a GEDCOM from GenoPro, then import it into Genogram Pro to bring your family structure across.
Moving your data across
GenoPro exports GEDCOM and Genogram Pro imports it, so the family structure comes across without retyping.
- People with names, sexes, and birth and death dates
- Parent, child, and partner structure
- Notes stored as GEDCOM facts
GEDCOM does not carry emotional bonds, relationship dynamics, or medical conditions, so you add those after import. For most genograms that is a few minutes per family, and the AI assistant speeds it up.
