Not one relative's static chart — a living tree the whole family adds photos, birthdays, and stories to. Free to start, private by default.
No credit card. Takes about two minutes.
How it works
So you can picture yourself doing it before you click sign up.
Add yourself and the relatives you know — name, photo, how they connect. The tree grows from there.
Invite relatives as viewers, editors, or contributors who can suggest additions for you to approve.
Browse generations, filter the family directory, or share a branch as a private link — even to social media.
Features
The screenshots below are the real app — not mockups.
Vertical or horizontal layout, compact spacing when the tree gets big, couples linked with a heart, generations color-coded — pan and zoom smoothly on any device.
Owners and editors make direct changes. Viewers browse without the risk of an accidental edit. Contributors can propose an addition — a birth, a photo, a correction — for an owner to approve. No more "one person's laptop is the only copy."
Phone numbers, emails, cities, occupations — searchable and filterable, with an upcoming-birthdays reminder and one-click export to your phone's contacts.
Generate a link to one part of the family — a grandparent's descendants, say — that anyone can view without an account. Perfect for reunions, or pasting into the family group chat.
Generation-depth charts, gender balance, living-vs-deceased ratios — a quick read on how the family has grown, computed live from the tree, not a manual spreadsheet.
Not a genealogy site
Those are built for historical research. This is built for staying connected with the family you have right now.
| My Family Tree | Typical genealogy sites | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free | Monthly/yearly subscription |
| Focus | Living family, staying in touch | Historical records & ancestry research |
| Your data | Private to your family, never sold | Often used for record-matching & ads |
| Editing | Role-based — owner, editor, viewer, contributor | Usually one owner, others just view |
| Contact info | Phone, email, city — a real directory | Rarely included |

What families are saying
From a joint family in India to relatives spread across three continents.
“We used to have four different phone contacts lists that no one kept updated. Now my Ba's grandchildren, scattered across three countries, see the same tree and finally understand how everyone is related.”
“My father isn't comfortable installing apps, but a share link was enough for him to see the whole tree on his phone without creating an account. That alone made this worth setting up.”
“We tried a genealogy site first and gave up — it's built for finding dead relatives, not staying in touch with living ones. This is the opposite, and it's free.”
“Our extended family has six branches and nobody agreed on who should ‘own’ the family records. Giving each branch an editor, with my uncle approving changes, solved that instantly.”
“I added my grandmother's photo and cousins in three countries recognized her within minutes. That's the whole point — not a spreadsheet, an actual living map of the family.”
“Every relative has a different idea of who's related to whom. Having one shared tree that updates for everyone at once ended more family arguments than I expected.”
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes — creating a family tree, inviting relatives, and using every feature described here costs nothing.
Who can see my family's information?
Only the people you invite, at the access level you choose. Nothing is public unless you generate a share link yourself.
Can more than one person edit the tree?
Yes — invite as many editors as you want, or let relatives propose changes for you to approve first.
What if a relative isn't tech-savvy?
They don't need an account to view a shared branch, and adding a relative to the tree takes a name, a relationship, and a photo — nothing more.
Can I get my data out later?
Yes — export your family directory to CSV or vCard contacts at any time.
Free to start. No credit card. Your first tree takes about two minutes.
