A private space for your family's stories, photos, and people.

Embertree is where relatives scattered across countries collaborate on a shared family tree, capture each other's stories, and preserve lineage, without ever being searchable by strangers.

What Embertree is

A private collaborative workspace

Relatives in different countries can add people to the tree, upload photos, and record stories, all in one private space only your family can see. No strangers. No public index.

For stories, not just dates and places

Every person in your tree has a profile where family members can write stories, record voice memories, and attach photos. Embertree is built around the people you love.

For the people who come after you

What you preserve today will still be here for your grandchildren. There are no notifications asking you to return. You visit it, contribute to it, then close it.

What Embertree is not

These are permanent product decisions, not v2 ideas.

  • No DNA testing, ethnicity estimates, or genetic matching.
  • No public family trees. No global "World Family Tree."
  • No AI-generated stories or AI-generated photos.
  • No ads. No selling your family's data. Ever.
  • "Are you sure you want to cancel?" dark patterns are not allowed in our product.
Private by default. Never sold. Never searchable.

Your family's tree, stories, and photos are visible only to people you invite. Embertree has no public search, no world tree, and no third-party data sharing.
