Three steps, one evening.

Most families have the pieces already. brch puts them in one place.

  1. STEP 1

    Add yourself and your parents

    Names and a year are enough to start. Dates, places and photos can come later.

    About 2 minutes
  2. STEP 2

    Invite one person from each side

    Send a link to the aunt who knows everything. She adds her side, you approve what changes.

    One text message
  3. STEP 3

    Watch it fill in

    Cousins add kids, grandparents add stories, someone finally scans the shoebox.

    A few weeks

The parts families actually use.

  • Build it together

    Relatives edit their own branch. You see every change and can undo any of them.

  • Stories next to names

    Photos, recipes, letters and voice notes, attached to the person they belong to.

  • Private by default

    Living relatives stay hidden from anyone outside the family. You choose what gets shared.

  • Bring your old tree

    Import a GEDCOM file, the format every genealogy site exports, and keep going.

  • Never miss a date

    Birthdays and anniversaries for the whole family, in one calendar you can subscribe to.

  • Print the poster

    Export the whole tree as a clean chart, sized for a frame or the reunion banner.

Grandma's recipe card belongs next to Grandma.
