OneTree is a private place for everything your family shouldn't forget — the people, the photographs, and the stories that hold a family together. Invite the people you love, build your family tree together, and watch a shared timeline fill in across the generations. Everything stays private to your family — no ads, no tracking, and we never sell your data. YOUR FAMILY TREE • An interactive, hand-drawn tree you can pinch, zoom, and pan • See at a glance how you're related to everyone — "your first cousin once removed," "your great-aunt" — and exactly how the line connects • Tap any relative to explore their branch, or step into another side of the family A TIMELINE OF YOUR FAMILY • A living timeline that spans decades — births, marriages, moves, milestones, and everyday moments • Add a memory in seconds; photos you upload appear automatically on the right date • Filter by person or kind, or keep some moments private to just you PEOPLE & STORIES • Rich profiles: nicknames, life dates, birthplaces, biographies, and heritage notes • Photo galleries kept private to your family and served securely • Gentle prompts to help you capture the stories only you remember SHARED, BUT PRIVATE • Create a family and invite relatives with a simple code • Roles for everyone: admins manage the family, editors add to it, viewers explore • Private moments are visible only to you — even admins can't see them • A family map of the places you've all been, shown only if you choose to share OneTree is built for the long haul: a calm, beautiful archive you'll want to keep adding to for years. Start with one memory today. Account & privacy: Signing up needs an email and a display name.

Same private family archive: the same tree, the same timeline, the same photographs, moments and chats. Everything you have added is exactly where you left it, and everyone in your family stays where they are. Only the name on the outside has changed. ### 1.6.0 — 2026-08-25 Every family, said properly. A MEMORY YOU CAN OPEN. Tap a moment on the story and it opens as a page rather than a form: the photograph it's remembered by, the day, the place, the telling, and the faces of everyone who was there. Editing waits behind a button, for when something needs correcting — the year you misremembered, the person left off, the story you'd rather have told. A WHOLE ROLL, NOT ONE PICTURE. A moment holds as many photographs as you like now. Choose the one it wears on the timeline; the rest are waiting inside. Hold any of them to make it the cover. THE WORDS FOR IT. A parent can be recorded by birth, by adoption, as a step-parent, or as a foster parent — and brothers and sisters can be told apart as half or step. The tree speaks the difference back: your adoptive mother, your stepsister, your foster son. Say nothing and nothing changes. CHOOSING PEOPLE, AT LAST. Tagging who was there used to be a wall of names covering the page. Now one line says who you picked — "Mum, Dad and four others" — and opens a proper sheet with a search field, faces beside the names, and each person's place in the family under them. The same for who can see a thing: one clear answer instead of a switch and a row of circles. MORNINGS THAT MATTER. A quiet word on the day: birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's Day and Father's Day — on the date the country you're standing in actually keeps them, which is not the same date everywhere. SMALLER KINDNESSES. A marriage remembers both people instead of one. Photographs fill in their own date from the picture itself. The name you give when you sign up isn't asked for a second time. And the way in is one door now, whether you're planting a tree or joining one already growing. ### 1.5.1 — 2026-08-18 A truer tree, and a calmer one. THE TREE, REDRAWN. Families now grow on the side of the person they belong to — a father's parents stand beside him, a mother's beside her, and branches no longer cross half the canvas to reach their children. Every branch leaves from the middle of a couple, below both of them, so there's never a question of whose child someone is. And the tree is simply the tree now: one hand-drawn look. A NEW WAY TO LOOK. The people button opens one quiet sheet: see your whole tree, just your side of the family (or, unmarried, just your immediate family), or everyone in the archive — and choose whether cards carry recorded names or what you call people. THE STORY GROWS. A plus on the Story page: plan a get-together, record a memory, or add photos, right where the story is told. SMALL MENDINGS. Pages no longer sit blank after quick tab switches, sheets rise gently instead of springing up, and the timeline no longer mistakes the drive to the next town for a journey — travel means truly leaving home. ### 1.5.0 — 2026-08-14 Your brother is your brother. If you added a sibling to the tree before anyone had entered their parents, Rooted couldn't work out how you were related — and instead of admitting that, the tree described them as having married into the family. It now reads those ties properly: brother and sister, and everything that follows from them — uncle, great-aunt, first cousin once removed — even when the parents above them are still blank. The DNA percentages now follow the same rule: a parent nobody has entered yet no longer halves a family. Your uncle shares 25% with you even while his mother's name is still missing from the tree — Rooted only calls a relationship "half" when the records actually prove it. And where Rooted genuinely doesn't know how someone connects to you, it now says nothing at all, rather than guessing. ### 1.4.5 — 2026-08-04 This release is for the grandparents. On phones with Reduce Motion turned on, the welcome screen could appear with its buttons invisible — they were there, and they worked, but you could not see them. Fixed: everything on that screen now shows up regardless of motion settings, and the same guarantee was applied to the person panel, search, and filters throughout the app. At the largest accessibility text sizes, the welcome screen's buttons could also be pushed out of reach below the bottom of the screen. Fixed: the screen now scrolls, so its buttons are always reachable — and your text stays as large as you set it. ## More apps by Joshua Ossip - [Split Basket](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/split-basket/id6737175853) All apps by Joshua Ossip: https://appshunter.io/developer/1775088765 ## Related topics [archive family](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/archive-family) · [voalte family](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/voalte-family) · [renweb family portal](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/renweb-family-portal) · [family directory](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/family-directory) · [archive sifter](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/archive-sifter) · [globe life family heritage](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/globe-life-family-heritage) · [ryba family](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/ryba-family) · [family archivist](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/family-archivist) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
