{{languages|Other genealogy tools}}
In addition to the tools in GRAMPSGramps, there are other [http://www.fsf.org/ Free Software] or [http://www.opensource.org/ Open Source] genealogy tools to make websites, trees, parse gedcom, .... If GRAMPS Gramps tools do not meet your needs, you may wish to consider one of the following tools.
==ADAN==
[http://familier.sourceforge.net/ Familier/Familiar] is a GPL cross-platform Family Tree management software using QT4. It supports viewing/editing file tree using drag-drop in multiple ways. Events allow you to define events in any number.
It is available for both UNIX and Windows.
==FASTLINK==
[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/CBBResearch/Schaffer/fastlink.html FASTLINK] is a significantly modified and improved version of the main programs of LINKAGE. It has been used in over 1000 published genetic linkage studies. See also [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/CBBresearch/Schaffer/pedhunter.html PedHunter] and [[#Cranefoot|Cranefoot]].
==Gedail==
== Non-Free Software ==
In addition to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Software Free Software] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source_software Open Source Software] programs, there are no cost, shareware and commercial genealogy tools. It is not the goal of the GRAMPS Gramps project to promote such products, since they do not preserve the user's freedom and can lock the user's data out of his/her control.
For more information on no cost, shareware and commercial, see [http://www.cyndislist.com/software.htm Cyndi's List] or [http://genealogyblog.geneanet.org/ Geneasoft].
== Other Tools ==
One can also exchange also information with family web applications, but these are not directly genealogy related. They can be interesting to host data generated from genealogy applications (anniversaries, ...). Some free tools (you need the skill to set up a web service, most web projects have companies connected to them that for a fixed fee host and maintain the application for you):
* '''Family Connection''': [http://familyconnect.rubyforge.org/ Family Connection] is a GPL Web application based on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_on_Rails Ruby on Rails], which restricts access only to family members by requiring a family password. It offers Family News, Address Book, Photo Album.
== Handset ==
