Folklore is the private family tree you can actually share — build it together with your family over iCloud, with partners, half-siblings, and adoptive ties recorded the way they really are.
Build your family tree, record the people who matter, and keep every name, date, story, and photo in one place — stored on your device and synced through your own private iCloud. Your family history is yours alone. We can't see it, and it never lives on our servers.
BUILD YOUR TREE
- Add parents, partners, children, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and step-relatives
- See your whole family in a clean, zoomable tree in portrait or landscape
- Color-code people to keep branches clear at a glance
- Add life events, places, occupations, and research notes
BUILD IT TOGETHER
- Invite family through private iCloud sharing — no accounts, no public links, only the people you invite
- Everyone you invite can add relatives and fill in details, and changes sync to all of you
- Removing someone always comes back to you for approval, so nothing disappears without the owner's say-so
- Prefer to keep control? Invite someone view-only and they can still send you suggestions to approve or decline
DISCOVER HOW YOU'RE CONNECTED
- The relationship calculator tells you exactly how any two people are related — "second cousin once removed" and more
- Names, dates, and connections update everywhere as you build
BRING OLD PHOTOS BACK TO LIFE
- Restore and enhance faded family photos entirely on your iPhone — repair, de-yellow, sharpen, and brighten
- Nothing is ever uploaded; all processing happens on your device
KEEP YOUR RESEARCH PORTABLE
- Import standard GEDCOM files, including photos, so research you've already done comes with you
- Export to GEDCOM or a printable Family Book PDF with Folklore Pro, so your work is never locked in
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- No account, no login, no ads, no tracking
- Your tree lives on your device and in your private iCloud
