How a name earns its place in your tree
Three steps, in this order. Nothing is asserted before it is sourced.
It starts with a record
A baptism, a census line, a headstone. You cite where it came from, and the citation stays attached to the fact forever — not to a hint you can't inspect.

It lands in the tree
Placed against parents, spouses and children, where a contradiction shows up immediately.
The match argues for itself
A DNA match arrives with the shared centimorgans, a confidence in plain words, and the segments it's built from. No blurring, no counter telling you there are discoveries you haven't paid for.

Leaving is a feature
A decade of research should never be hostage to a subscription. Everything you put in comes back out in a format other software can read.
- GEDCOM, both ways
- Import and export the industry standard. The same file you brought in is the file you can take out.
- MIT licensed
- The whole platform is open source. Read it, fork it, audit what it does with your family's data.
- Self-host it
- Run it on your own server and the question of who owns the records stops being a question.
The free tier is the product. Premium is the heavy lifting.
Building, citing and exporting your tree costs nothing, forever. Premium pays for the work that burns CPU on our side.
- Unlimited DNA uploads across testing companies
- Duplicate detection and assisted merging
- Smart matching against public trees
- Automated background record discovery
Start with one name and the record behind it.
Import a GEDCOM you already have, or begin from a single person. Either way, you can take the whole thing with you when you go.
