Even distant relatives,
kept in touch.

You don't reach out often, but you want to be ready when it matters.
Keep those contacts organized in one place.

Especially useful if you've started a family through marriage, if marriage has widened your circle of relatives, or if you've become the one organizing a wedding or a funeral. For return gifts, condolence gifts, or building an accurate guest list for distant relatives — this app has you covered.

FEATURES

What it does

Every tap grows the circle a little further.

🕸️

See the connections

Pick who is whose what, and the relationships fan out around that person. Relatives, friends and workplace are automatically color-coded into three areas, so you can tell them apart at a glance.

🌳

A family tree that builds itself

Add parents, children and spouses, and the tree assembles on its own. Siblings fall into birth order automatically.

📷

Albums that remember

Keep photos with the date they were taken. Each one shows how old the person was, and the whole album exports as a PDF.

🔔

Never miss the day

Birthdays, anniversaries and memorial days are announced before they arrive, so they don't slip past.

📄

Guest lists made easy

Select the people you need and export them to CSV or PDF — useful for weddings and gatherings. Maps and trees export too.

📇

Quick to fill in

Type it in, scan a business card with the camera, or bring people over from the contacts already on your phone.

📤

Share with people nearby

Select a family or group and hand it over with AirDrop — it saves the person receiving it from typing everything in by hand.

SCREENS

The same circle, laid out in columns.

Everything here is a real screen from the app.

A chart view, grouped by area

Besides the radiating hub at the top of this page, the same connections can be shown as a vertical chart. Relatives run down the left, friends down the right and the workplace sits below — each keeping its own colour, so it stays clear who belongs to which group however many people you add.

SHARE

Share your whole family, in one tap.

Contacts, relationships, and photo albums — pick what to send and hand it over with AirDrop. It saves the person receiving it from typing everything in by hand.

For example: pick a whole family at once

In the relationship map or family tree, tap the people you want to send. Here, a couple and their two children — four people in all — are selected together, and the parent, child and spouse links between them travel with them. The person receiving it doesn't have to add each one by one — the whole family structure comes across as-is.

Just pick what to send

Names, of course — plus phone numbers, photo albums, and relationships, if you choose. Notes and your closeness rating are never sent.

Handed off with standard AirDrop

The file goes out through the AirDrop you already know, on Mac or iPhone. No extra setup.

Easy to add on the other end

When someone receives it, the names and details are already filled in, saving them from retyping everything by hand. Whether it matches someone already in their list is something they decide later, in their own time — nothing gets overwritten automatically.

iPhone · iPad · Mac

The same circle, on every device.

Everything syncs automatically through iCloud, so it works the same on your iPhone and your iPad.

Room to breathe on iPad

The relationship map spreads across the whole screen, still colour-coded into Relatives, Friends and Workplace. From the person in the middle, named lines reach out to parents, spouse, friends and colleagues.

Your information never leaves.

Everything you enter is stored on your own device and in your own iCloud — a private area only you can reach. There is no social feed, and the developer has no way to see any of it.

The one exception: when you look up an address by postal code, that postal code is sent to an external address service. Nothing else is ever sent outside.

Who it is for

Questions

 

Is it free?

Adding people and building your map and tree is free. A one-time Premium unlock (about US$3.99) adds CSV and PDF export, contacting people from the app, and saving diagrams as images. It is a single purchase, not a subscription.

Where is my data kept?

On your device and in your own iCloud. The developer cannot see it. See the privacy policy for the details.

Can I see the same data on my iPad and Mac?

Yes. Sign in with the same Apple Account and everything appears on each device through iCloud.

What happens when I get a new phone?

Your data is in iCloud, so signing in on the new device brings it all across.

Can I keep other people from reading it?

Yes. You can require Face ID, Touch ID or a passcode when the app opens. There is also a mode that hides real names while you show the screen to someone.
