Preserve your family's roots across generations.
Lineage is an intimate, private archive designed to feel like a cherished family album. Map your history, share memories securely, and leave a living legacy for those to come.
What makes Lineage different
Built for real families, not perfect ones.
The Forest of Islands
Start mapping the branches you know. Disconnected clusters can be bridged later when you discover the missing link.
Living Memory Vault
Capture voice recordings from grandparents, upload vintage photos, and document ancestral hometowns before stories fade.
Frictionless Co-Authoring
Invite aunts, uncles, and cousins for free. An activity feed tracks who added what, with smart duplicate detection.
Interactive Heirloom Canvas
Explore your lineage on an infinite canvas with automatic generational positioning and fluid pan & zoom.
Up and running in minutes
Three steps and your family story is alive.
You start with yourself
A 30-second wizard builds your starter tree — you, your parents, your partner. No blank canvas.
Invite your family
Share a link. Your relatives join for free and add the branches only they know.
Watch it grow
The activity feed captures every addition. Duplicate ancestors are detected and merged automatically.
One sponsor. Your entire family, free.
We charge only the person who starts the tree. Every invited relative joins and contributes at zero cost.
