Rootkin
Family tree & voice memories
Free · In‑App Purchases
Rootkin is where your family actually shows up.
Build your family tree, share it with the people in it, and capture the stories — in their own voices — before they fade. Rootkin is a private space for your family, not another social network and not a public database.
RECORD THE VOICES THAT TELL YOUR STORY
This is the part most family trees miss. Pick a question — "Tell me about the first house you ever lived in" — hand the phone over, and press record. Two minutes is plenty, and no account is needed to answer. Every recording gets an automatic transcript and stays tied to the people in it, so you can find it again by person or topic.
ASK, AND THE ANSWER COMES BACK
Send a question to your mom, your uncle, your grandmother. They record their answer from a simple link — no app, no account — and the moment they finish, their voice lands in your tree.
BUILD YOUR TREE TOGETHER
Add parents, children, siblings, and partners, or just describe your family in your own words — Rootkin turns what you say into people and relationships. Invite family with a simple code, and everyone sees the same tree, kept in sync in real time.
SEE THE WHOLE FAMILY
An interactive tree shows how everyone connects — including step and adoptive relationships. Pinch to zoom, pan to explore, and tap anyone to jump to their page.
PHOTOS THAT BELONG TO PEOPLE
Attach photos to the people in them, so the family album organizes itself over time.
KEEPSAKES WORTH SHARING
Turn memories and photos into a PDF newsletter or greeting card for the whole family — complete with codes that play the voices out loud.
GENTLE REMINDERS
Birthdays, anniversaries, and a daily feed of what your family has added — without notifications that nag.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your tree is only visible to the family members you invite. Nothing is public, nothing is searchable on the open web, and nothing is sold. Photos and details about children get extra protection, managed by the people you trust.
YOUR DATA, YOURS
Export your full tree anytime as GEDCOM — the standard format every genealogy tool understands. No lock-in.
WORKS EVERYWHERE YOUR FAMILY IS
iPhone, iPad, and the web. Grandma on her tablet, your cousin at a laptop, you on your phone — same tree, in sync, at the same time.
A family tree, full of spoken memories.
SUBSCRIPTIONS
Viewing and listening are always free. Rootkin Family is an optional auto-renewable subscription, offered monthly or yearly, that covers you plus a co-editor, unlimited viewers on your tree, and voice recording for your family. Pricing is shown in the app before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
