Genly: Genogram Maker

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.
