Everything you need to tell your family's story

Thoughtful tools for genealogy that feel less like a database and more like a family album.

See your whole family at a glance

An interactive tree centered on anyone you choose, with parents, grandparents, siblings, spouses and children all laid out around them.

Capture every detail

Record names, birth and death dates, and the stories worth remembering. Mark approximate dates when memory is hazy.

Connect generations

Add a parent and we'll offer their spouse as a co-parent. Siblings are inferred automatically from shared parents.

Find anyone instantly

Jump to any relative with quick search, then walk the branches to explore how everyone is related.

Private by default

Your tree is yours alone. Every member and relationship is tied to your account and never shared.

Grows with your family

Start free with up to 20 members. Upgrade to Pro any time for an unlimited family history.

A profile for every person

Honour each life with the details that matter

Open anyone in your tree to record their full name, the years that framed their life, and the notes and memories you never want to lose. Link relatives in plain language like “child of”, “spouse of” and “sibling of”, and the tree updates itself.

  • Birth and death dates, with an approximate toggle
  • Free-form notes for stories, places and details

Frequently asked questions

Everything you might want to know before you start.

Is my family tree private?

Yes. Every tree is tied to your own account. Your members and relationships are visible only to you and are never shared with other users.

How many people can I add for free?

The free plan supports up to 20 family members, with unlimited relationships between them at no cost.

What happens when I reach 20 members?

You can keep viewing and editing your existing tree. To add your 21st member, upgrade to Pro for unlimited members.

How much is Pro, and what does it include?

Pro is $29 per year and removes the member limit, so you can build a tree of any size. Everything in the free plan is included.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. Creating your free account takes a minute and never asks for payment details. You only pay if you choose to upgrade to Pro.

Can I record dates when I am not sure of them?

Yes. Birth and death dates each have an approximate toggle, so you can capture your best estimate when an exact date is unknown.
