## What is Gramps2?

Your family's story, in one living tree.

Gramps2 turns names, dates, and old photos into a family tree you can actually explore — and share with the people in it. Build it together with your family over iCloud, and let Gramps2 quietly remind everyone of the birthdays and remembrance days that matter.

BUILD YOUR TREE
• Add parents, partners, and children in a couple of taps
• Real-world genealogy dates: year-only, "about 1902", before/after
• Birth and death places, notes, and links for every person
• Children automatically ordered by birth date — or drag them into your own order
• Blended families welcome: add a child to one parent only, and stepchildren stay clearly distinguished from someone's own children
• Keep multiple trees — and search everyone by name

SEE THE WHOLE STORY AT A GLANCE
• An interactive diagram maps the generations around anyone
• Tap a person to travel through your family — pinch to zoom
• Profile photos right on the chart

SHOW IT ON THE BIG SCREEN
• Stream the tree chart to your TV with AirPlay — your iPhone becomes the remote
• A TV-sized view built for the big screen, so even the largest tree fits
• Perfect for family gatherings: walk everyone through the generations together

GROW IT TOGETHER
• Share a tree through iCloud and edit it side by side
• Changes sync live between family members
• Everyone keeps their own reminder preferences

NEVER MISS A DATE
• Birthday reminders for the whole family
• Remembrance days for those who passed, with memorial milestones honored in many traditions: 40 days, 100 days, 6 months, 1 year — or your own
• A two-week calendar of upcoming family events
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets
• Apple Watch app and complications with the next event at a glance

BRING YOUR RESEARCH WITH YOU
• Import GEDCOM files from Ancestry, MyHeritage, desktop Gramps, and other genealogy tools
• Export any tree back to GEDCOM anytime — your research is never locked in

PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTS
• Attach pictures and documents to anyone in your tree
• Paste a photo straight from your clipboard onto any person
• Pick a profile photo, add captions, and build a family album around each person

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Your tree lives in your own iCloud — no account to create, no servers of ours
• We never see your family's names, dates, or photos
• Everything stays yours, and GEDCOM export means it always will be

Gramps2 is made by one person — Nico. I built it so my own family's stories wouldn't fade, and I hope it keeps yours alive too.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.10 — 2026-08-26

Tell us what you think.

There's now a Rate Gramps2 link in Settings, so leaving a review takes just a tap. And right after you finish importing or exporting a family tree, Gramps2 may ask once how it's going — your feedback shapes what we build next.

Questions or ideas? We'd love to hear from you — leave a review or reach out via Settings.

### 1.9 — 2026-08-20

A quicker, friendlier welcome.

Getting started is now shorter and to the point. And instead of asking about notifications up front, Gramps2 now offers reminders right where they make sense — in Upcoming Events, while you're looking at your family's birthdays and remembrance days.

Questions or ideas? We'd love to hear from you — leave a review or reach out via Settings.

### 1.8 — 2026-08-16

Blended families, done right.

You can now add a child to one parent only. Stepchildren stay linked to
their own parent and appear in a separate "Stepchildren" list on the
stepparent's page — visible on the tree, but never mixed in with someone's
own children. When adding a child, simply choose the partner they belong
to, or "Only" the one parent.

Added someone to the couple by mistake? Swipe the wrong parent on the
child's page and choose "Remove as Parent" — photos, notes, and the other
parent all stay.

Questions or ideas? We'd love to hear from you — leave a review or reach
out via Settings.

### 1.7 — 2026-08-15

Gramps now runs on iOS 18 and up!

If your iPhone can't update to iOS 26 — or you simply haven't yet — this
update is for you. The full app now works on iPhone XS, XR, and every model
after, so more of the family can build the tree together.

Also in this update:
• Fixed a crash when sharing a large tree via Mail or Messages. Preparing
  the invitation can still take a moment for big trees — the app now tells
  you up front instead of leaving you guessing.
• The search field is always visible in the people list and on the iPad
  home screen — no more pulling down to find it.
• Day-based memorial reminders now count the day of passing as day 1, so
  milestones land on the traditional day of remembrance.

Questions or ideas? We'd love to hear from you — leave a review or reach
out via Settings.

### 1.6 — 2026-08-12

Gramps2 1.6 makes finding family effortless — whichever tree they're in.

• Search across all your trees — Searching a tree's people list now finds relatives in every tree you keep. Tap a match to jump straight to that person; Back returns you to your results.

Plus improvements under the hood. Thanks for building your family history with Gramps2!
