About

Genly

Features
Read full description

Need a genogram for a class, a counseling session or a case file? Genly turns a short family form into a clean three-generation genogram PDF with standard symbols and relationship lines — no drawing required. Fill in the index person, partner, children, parents, siblings and grandparents. Genly places everyone automatically and draws the chart on a landscape page. • STANDARD SYMBOLS — squares for male, circles for female, diamonds for unknown, an X for deceased, and a double border for the index person (you or the client). Names and years or dates are printed under each symbol. • COUPLE RELATIONSHIPS — married, cohabiting, separated, divorced or engaged, drawn on the line between partners, for the index couple, the parents and both sets of grandparents. • BOND QUALITY — neutral, close, distant, conflicted or cut off, shown as relationship-quality lines for the index couple and the parents. • THREE-GENERATION AUTO-LAYOUT — grandparents on top (paternal left, maternal right), the index person with siblings and partner in the middle, and children below. Up to 12 siblings and 12 children. • READY TO PRINT — a landscape US Letter PDF with a title and a symbol legend. Print it, share it or save it to Files. Honest scope: Genly draws a fixed three-generation structure from a form — you can't drag symbols, add a fourth generation, or record medical conditions or free-form notes. The chart is one page: a very large family is scaled down to fit it, so names print smaller, and Genly tells you when that happens. It is a drawing tool and doesn't assess or diagnose anything. Family details stay on your iPhone. The PDF is made on the device, nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. Try it free — 1 genogram. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited genograms. No subscription, no ads. Questions: overlapmarr@gmail.com
