Family Tree
Build the family tree together.
A private family tree that relatives build together: an expandable tree, profiles with photos, upcoming birthdays and anniversaries, view-only share links, and suggestions that family managers review. Relationship names show in Gujarati too (કાકા, દાદી). Many families use one app; each tree is private to its members.

how it's managed
Who can do what, and how changes get in.
01
Three roles per tree
Viewers read the tree. Managers add and edit people and photos, and review suggestions. Admins also manage members, roles and share links. Whoever creates a tree is its first admin, and the last admin can never be removed.
02
Invite, don't sign up
An admin adds a relative's email and sends an invite link (WhatsApp works fine). They log in with a 6-digit code sent to that email. No passwords.
03
Share links for everyone else
A view-only link shows the tree without an account. It hides phone numbers and emails, and shows only the birth year for living people.
04
Suggestions, reviewed
Anyone with a share link can suggest a correction. It lands in Suggestions, where a manager approves or rejects it. Nothing changes until they do.
05
Private photos, automatic backups
Photos are stored privately and only shown to members of that tree (2 GB per tree). The database is backed up automatically.
