Why families move beyond endless group chats

Kunbaa is for families scattered across WhatsApp groups, social feeds, cloud drives and genealogy sites, where a replaced phone or a changed policy loses the memories. One space gathers every branch, story and plan without giving up privacy.

Private access and announcements keep sensitive updates with the people who need them, news, planning and long-term context without pushing private moments into a public feed.

Family tree plus living memory archive

Build a living family tree, attach photos and stories, and add the family context so grandparents, parents and kids can explore together, everyone in the family joins free.
