This is application for making a family tree.
Very light, fast and simple.

- No login is needed
- There will be no uploads to any servers
- You can share the data as a simple text or file and re-import it again in another phone, so cousins can work together on building a big family tree
- You can share the tree as an image, so it can be printed or published

This app supports only it's own file format for import/export and nothing else!
The app does not care about marriages, as people may have children and not been married. A child can not have more than 1 biological mother/father. This is a simple app, that only follows the blood line. Any special cases (like adopted child) can only be explained in the Notes.


How to use this app:

Tap on the big plus to add the first person.

Tap on a person's name to edit, delete, move, add a parent or add a child of this person.

Any person can be moved left and right, if not linked to anyone - also up and down.

To make room use 2 fingers and slide them away from one another (pinch out). Horizontal pinch will make the tree wider. Vertical pinch will make it taller.
Then slide left(or up) with 1 finger to see the right(or bottom) side of the tree.

Your data will not be uploaded anywhere. The data will only be accessible by you or whoever you choose to share it with.

Share options:
• Share image - will make a picture of the tree, that can then be printed.
• Export data - all information about the people, that can then be imported.

On every import, a backup of the current data will be created.

Any date can be replaced by custom text.

To change the font size - tap on the 3 dots (•••), then on "Settings" and on the top option "Text size", then use the slider to make the names bigger or smaller.

If you do not remember the exact date for someone, you can enter a custom text instead. This text can be as vague as you wish, for example: "The spring of 1953", or "Early Sixties".

Make sure to update the app to the latest version, before importing data!


You can have more than one family tree. To switch the tree, tap on the "Clear current tree" from the Menu. Enter your new tree information. Then from "Backups" you can switch between the trees.

By default the name of the backup ends with the number of people in this backup.

Start your tree with one of the youngest in the family. This way building the tree will be easy and feel natural.

Make a good looking tree by:
• Moving everyone's mother and father next to each other
• Moving siblings next to each other
• Decrease the font size
• Hide the second and third names from the Settings - will make the tree clean and simple
• Use "Fix tree look" - will move most people closer to their parents
