flow-mapmac

Does anybody know a good, and easy to use, software to create flow maps?

I want to create flow maps for showing the flow of people between places (migration).

The software has to be compatible with Mac computers.

I have tried the plugin for QGIS, but it was designed for Windows.

The QGIS flow mapper plugin, although designed for Windows, does work on Mac. It has a few glitches but gets the job done.
