The canvas

One tree. Read it your way.

Focus a single bloodline. Edit a card in place. Fold a branch out of the way. Walk through time. Skim the directory. Trace any two people back to a common ancestor. Same data, six lenses, switch with one click.

Press F on anyone to dim everyone outside their direct line.

Privacy

Sealed. Before it leaves.

When you share your tree, your browser locks it with a password you pick before sending it. We never see the password. We never see what is inside. Anyone who intercepts the link sees scrambled text, not your family.

  • Only you and them. Locked on your device. Opened on theirs.
  • Not even us. We store the locked version. We do not have the key.
  • Password to open. No password, no read.
  • Unshare anytime. Pull the link, it goes dark.

Bring it. Take it.

Yours, in and out.

If you arrived from MyHeritage or Ancestry, start here.

An honest look at where each tool fits. What MyHeritage and Ancestry genuinely do better, what Family Tree does instead, and how to pick the one that matches the family record you actually want to keep.

It starts with one name.
