What Stambeam does differently

Your own tree, with a few new possibilities.

Theories in a branchNot sure about a link? Work it out in a scratch copy of your tree. If it holds, merge it; if not, throw the branch away.
Everything on your own computerNo account and no cloud. Your tree lives on your own computer, and Stambeam works offline.
Map and timelineSee on the map or the globe where your family lived and how they moved. The timeline puts a life next to what happened in the world.
Windows, Mac and phoneStambeam runs on Windows and Mac. With a hub you have your tree on your phone too, even without signal in the archive.
