One tap adds anyone.
Tap a portrait and four buttons spring out around it. Choose who comes next, type a name, and they’re in the tree.

Album
Every face, in one place.
Your family as a wall of round portraits, like People in Photos. Search any name, sort by birth year or by who was added last, and open anyone to see their photos, dates, places and stories.
- A page for everyone. Photos, life events, places and notes, with every relative one tap away.
- Faces, centered. Portraits are framed around the face, found on your device.
- Remembered with care. A quiet mark and their years. Never a cross, never a clinical symbol.
Tree
A family tree you can hold in your hand.
Pinch and pan through generations on a calm canvas of faces. Double-tap anyone to bring them to the center, and the whole family rearranges around them.
- Five ways to look. Ancestors, Descendants, Hourglass, Fan and the new Everyone view.
- Sideways on iPhone. Turn your iPhone and the tree takes the whole screen.
- Smooth with thousands. Zoom out and portraits become dots, so big families stay fast.
Drag to link.
Already added someone? Touch and hold their portrait, drop it on a relative, and choose how they’re related. Anything that can’t be true is ruled out for you.
Everyone, all at once.
The Everyone view lays out the whole family on one canvas, generation by generation, from the oldest photographs to the newest arrivals.
AncestorsDescendantsHourglassFanEveryone
A fan of ancestors.
Five generations in a half circle: the father’s side on the left, the mother’s on the right, with a + wherever someone is missing.
iPad and Mac
Room for the whole family.
On iPad, five generations fit on one screen, names and years included. On iPad and Mac, a sidebar, menus, a pointer and keyboard shortcuts make light work of a big family.
- Keyboard shortcuts. Arrow keys walk the tree, ⌘N adds a person, ⌘1 to ⌘4 switch tabs.
- Every orientation. Portrait or landscape on iPad, and the tree turns sideways on iPhone.
- Drop in photos. Drag pictures from Photos or Files onto anyone’s page.
- Undo with ⌘Z. Every change, one step at a time, and ⇧⌘Z to redo.
Every kind of family
Real families don’t fit a template.
Stepparents and stepchildren, adoption and fostering, second marriages and single parents. Record each relationship as it really is, and Family Trees names every connection correctly.
Married, partnered, divorced, separated.
Any number of partners, each with a status, a wedding date and a place.
Adoptive and foster parents.
Every parent link says what it is: biological, adoptive, step or foster.
Stepfamilies and half-siblings.
Kinship knows a half-brother from a stepsister, and says so in plain words.
Single parents.
Leave the other parent out and nothing looks missing. Add them later if you learn more.
Photos
One photo. Everyone in it.
Tag the people in a group photo once, and it appears on each of their pages. Faces are found on your iPhone, so nothing is uploaded to be recognized.
- Tag several people at once. The photo shows on every tagged person’s page.
- Captions and dates. Note where and when each picture was taken.
- Only what you choose. The system picker shares just the photos you pick.
Memories
Keep their voices, not just their dates.
Record a grandparent telling the story of how they met, in their own words. Interview prompts help you ask the questions you would otherwise forget.
- Interview prompts. Questions that bring out the stories only they can tell.
- Transcripts on your device. With Plus, every recording becomes text that follows along as it plays.
- Private by default. Recordings stay on your device and in your own backups.
Moments
Birthdays and anniversaries, remembered.
On This Day gathers today’s birthdays, anniversaries and remembrances, with the milestones called out. The timeline tells your family’s story, decade by decade.
- A reminder each morning. One notification on the days that matter, and none on quiet days.
- Milestones called out. A 21st birthday, a 50th anniversary, 100 years since a birth.
- Your family’s timeline. Births, marriages and more, sorted by decade.
Widgets and Siri
Today’s family, right on your Home Screen.
Widgets for the Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy show whose birthday it is and who you’re remembering. Ask Siri, build a shortcut, or find anyone from Spotlight.
- Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy. Faces and dates, at a glance.
- Siri and Shortcuts. Ask about today, or build it into your routines.
- Spotlight. Type a name to jump straight to their page.
Share and print
Made to be shared. Made to be framed.
Cards for the family chat, a poster for the hallway and a book for the grandparents, all drawn on your device.
Cards worth sending.
Tribute, family, milestone, kinship and mini tree cards. Square, story or wide, in light, dark or indigo.
Posters, print-ready.
Your tree at 18 × 24 or 24 × 36 inches, A2 or A3, sharp enough to frame.
A family book.
A page for everyone, with portraits, dates and stories, as a PDF to print and give.
Family map
See where your family lived.
Every birthplace and home on one map, from Cork and Galway to Boston and San Juan. Only place names are sent to Apple Maps to find them; your family’s names and dates stay on your device.
- Every place in their story. Where they were born, lived, married, moved and died.
- Who was where. Tap a pin to see everyone who was there.
Plus
Your data
Your family history is yours to keep.
Bring a GEDCOM file from Ancestry, FamilySearch or MyHeritage, and export one whenever you like. Automatic backups go to a folder you choose, and the duplicate finder tidies up after an import.
- GEDCOM export, free. Take your family to any genealogy app, on every plan.
- GEDCOM import with Plus. Bring your tree in from wherever it lives today.
- Automatic backups. Saved to the folder you pick, such as iCloud Drive.
- Duplicate finder. Spots the same person entered twice, and merges them.
The details
Thoughtful, down to the last detail.
Undo anything.
Every change is one step back: a deleted person, a new link, a photo. Tap Undo, shake, or press ⌘Z.
Dates as you know them.
A year, a month, or the exact day, marked approximate when you’re not quite sure.
Kinship in plain words.
First cousin once removed, great-grandmother, sister-in-law: the app works it out.

Private by design
Your family isn’t our product.
No account, no server, no tracking. Names, dates, photos and voices stay on your device and in backups you control. We never see them, and nothing is ever sold.
- No account
- No ads
- No analytics
- No uploads
Recognized on your device.
Faces in photos and words in recordings are processed on your iPhone, never on a server.

Questions
Good to know.
Do I need an account?
No. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to sign in to. Open the app and start with yourself.
Where is my family stored?
On your iPhone, iPad or Mac, in the app’s own storage. It is also included in your device backup, and in automatic backups if you turn them on and choose a folder, such as iCloud Drive. Nothing is sent to us.
Can I bring my tree from Ancestry, FamilySearch or MyHeritage?
Yes. Export a GEDCOM file there, then open it in Family Trees. Importing is part of Plus, and the free trial includes it. Exporting a GEDCOM file is free on every plan, so you can always take your family with you.
What happens when the free trial ends?
If you keep Plus, $39.99 is charged when the 7 days are up, and then once a year until you cancel. If you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, you pay nothing. Family Trees can remind you two days before it ends.
What if I stop paying for Plus?
Nothing is deleted. Your whole family stays on your device, and you can keep viewing and editing it. Adding people past 100, new trees, GEDCOM import and the other Plus features wait until you subscribe again. GEDCOM export stays free.
Can my relatives work on the same tree?
Not together, live. Each device keeps its own family. You can send a relative a GEDCOM file of your tree, and they can import it into their own copy of Family Trees.
Does it work on iPad and Mac?
Yes. Family Trees runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with keyboard shortcuts and pointer support on iPad and Mac. One purchase covers your devices on the same Apple Account.
Which languages does it speak?
English, German, French, Spanish and Dutch.
Is there an Android version?
No. Family Trees is made only for Apple devices.
