Every family has a story worth keeping.

Build your tree, write down the stories and traditions behind each person, and invite relatives to add what they remember.

Keep the people and the stories together

A family tree is more than names and dates. Each person has room for where they were from and what the family remembers.

A living tree

Add each person under their parent and watch the generations take shape. Search finds anyone by name or place.

Stories and places

Write down origins, traditions and memories next to the person they belong to.

A timeline

See births and passings in order, so the years tell their own story.

Shared, not public

Only people you invite can see your tree. Give each one the right role: editor or viewer.

Print or back up

Print the tree as a clean outline, or download a backup file of everything you have written.

Works on your phone

Install it to your home screen. Trees you have opened stay readable when the signal drops.

Start in three steps

  1. Create your tree

    Sign in, give the tree a name, and add the oldest ancestor you know.

  2. Add the family

    Add children under each parent, with the years, the place and the story.

  3. Invite relatives

    Send a link. They sign in and join as an editor or a viewer, as you choose.

Your family's information stays yours

How your tree is protected
  • Trees can be read only by the people who belong to them. Database rules enforce this on the server.
  • Only owners can invite people, rename the tree or delete it. Viewers cannot change anything.
  • An invite link works only for someone who is signed in. You choose the role the link gives.
  • There are no ads and no trackers. This app does not load scripts from advertising or analytics companies.
