Family Tree

Every family is a graph. Draw yours. Family Tree lets you build your family the way you would sketch it on the back of an envelope: a card for each person, a line for each relationship. Generations line up by birth year, so grandparents sit at the top and grandchildren at the bottom, and you never wonder who came first. • Four kinds of family - blood, marriage, godparents and the neighbour everyone calls uncle each get their own line. A marriage is the heaviest stroke on the page, "lives with" the faintest. • How are we related? - search a name at a wedding or a funeral and see the path between you and them, like "your mother's cousin". • Upcoming dates - birthdays and remembrance days in one list, with an optional reminder the day before. Round birthdays are called out ("Grandma turns 90"). • Add them on the spot - take a photo, type a name and birth date, link them to someone already in the tree. • Filters - hide a relationship type, narrow to an age range, show only one side of the family. • Calendar export - turn the visible part of your tree into an .ics file for Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook. • Private by default - no public trees, no search across families, no ads. Invite relatives by email to view a tree; they can look but not change anything, and you can revoke access at any time. • Works with the web - the same trees at family-tree.cyber-man.pl, in English and Polish, in light and dark mode. Delete your account and all your trees at any time in Settings.
