## What is Lore Lineage?

Lore Lineage is a privacy-first family tree app built for people who care about preserving their heritage — without giving up their data.


BUILT FOR REAL FAMILIES
Create an interactive family tree that handles the way families actually work: blended families, multiple marriages, step-parents, adoptions, and foster relationships. Navigate your tree on an infinite canvas with smooth gestures.

STORIES, NOT JUST NAMES
Go beyond dates and places. Write life stories using guided prompts, or record voice memos to capture the voices and memories of the people you love. Every person gets a rich profile with a timeline, journal, and media vault.

KINSHIP TERMS
See kinship terms in Chinese, Japanese, Hindi, Spanish, Swedish, Arabic, and Korean. Lore Lineage understands culturally specific relationships — like the distinction between maternal and paternal grandparents in Chinese and Swedish.

FULLY OFFLINE & PRIVATE
No account. No internet required. No cloud sync. All your family data stays on your device, always. Back up and restore locally whenever you want.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.0 — 2026-08-10

Lore Lineage Now Speaks Your Language
The whole app is translated across eight languages — English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic and Swedish. That covers the Family Calendar, profiles and forms, the guided tour, every dialog, and the labels VoiceOver reads aloud. Month names and date order follow local convention, so a Japanese date reads 1935年2月14日 rather than a rearranged English one.

Step-Relatives Told Apart From In-Laws
Kinship terms now distinguish step relations from in-laws. A stepmother is no longer labelled a mother-in-law — in every supported language.

Large Family Trees Fixed
Connector lines on very wide families no longer draw as broken fragments, and distant relatives stay tappable. Panning and zooming no longer stop responding after you move far across a big tree. Couples now sit centred above their children, removing the long horizontal lines that used to cross unrelated families.

Theme Consistency
The Family Calendar and the status bar now follow your chosen theme, including Ivory & Gold, instead of staying dark.

Safer Backups
Encrypted backups are more reliable, and a failed restore no longer replaces your existing tree.

### 1.4.3 — 2026-03-29

Themed Alert Dialogs
All confirmation dialogs and alert messages throughout the app now use a custom themed modal that matches your selected color

### 1.4.2 — 2026-03-26

Timeline Tab Fix
Resolved a crash that could occur when viewing a person's Timeline tab and interacting with milestones. The timeline now loads and displays all life events reliably.

Internal Improvements
Restructured the codebase for better long-term maintainability. No changes to features or user-facing behavior.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-03-20

Date Picker Fix
The birth and death date scroll wheels now work correctly when adding a new person or relationship. Previously, the day and month columns couldn't be scrolled in the Add Person and Add Relationship forms — you had to save first and then edit the profile to set dates. This has been resolved.

Stability Improvement
Fixed an issue where newly added family members could briefly appear as invisible on the tree canvas. Connection lines would display correctly, but the person's card wouldn't render until the next interaction. The tree layout engine now handles rapid database updates more reliably.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-03-18

Smarter Start for Returning Users
Lore Lineage now remembers you. If you already have people in your tree, the app skips the welcome screen and drops you straight into your family canvas — one less tap every time you open the app.

Redesigned Settings & Share Icons
The settings gear and share buttons now use crisp, scalable SVG icons instead of text characters. They look sharp at every screen size and blend seamlessly with the app's visual language.

Safer Sample Tree Loading
Tapping "Explore a Sample Tree" when you already have data now shows a confirmation dialog instead of silently blocking the action. You can choose to replace your data or cancel — no more mystery toasts.

Improved Tutorial Experience
Interactive tutorial steps now include "Try it now!" prompts to encourage hands-on exploration. The skip button reads "Skip tutorial" for clarity.

Toast Notification Fix
Fixed a bug where rapidly triggering the same action could stack multiple identical toast messages on screen simultaneously.
