Every detail in one place

Each person node shows their avatar (or initials), name in serif, and birth–death years right on the canvas. Click any node and a side drawer opens with full profile details — including an Edit button, View Detail link, and sibling chips. Tap a sibling chip to highlight that person with a gold border and glow animation, making family relationships instantly visible.

Private by default

Your tree is yours alone. Nothing is shared to a public network. No crowdsourcing your family data to strangers. AncestorOS is built around a single unified tree per account — no juggling multiple trees — so all your research stays in one coherent place.

Your tree is private
Visible only to you unless you explicitly share it

Three steps to a living family tree

Start with yourself and grow at your own pace. There is no right order, no required fields, and no deadline.

1

Add the first person — yourself

Create your own profile with your name, birth date, and birthplace. This becomes the root of your tree. You can always add more detail later.

2

Add parents and grandparents

Work backwards one generation at a time. Add names, dates, and places as you know them. Leave unknowns blank — you can fill them in later as you research.

3

Extend to cousins, aunts, uncles — grow at your own pace

Branches expand naturally. Add siblings, their spouses, their children. The tree grows with you over months and years of research.

Everything a family tree needs

Built for real genealogists — hobbyists and professionals alike.

Unlimited members

No caps on paid plans. Add every cousin, great-grandparent, and distant relative you discover.

Sibling navigation

Click any sibling chip in the detail drawer to highlight that family member with a gold border and glow — instantly see who shares the same parents.

Source citations

Cite every fact. Attach sources to births, marriages, deaths, and events. Professional-grade documentation built in.

Mobile-friendly

Full functionality on iOS and Android browsers. Add a person at a family reunion, right from your phone.

Search your tree instantly

Search by name from the tree canvas. A dropdown shows matching people with avatars — select one to jump directly to that node.

GEDCOM export

Export your entire tree as a standard .ged file at any time. Use it in any other genealogy software — no lock-in.
