A family tree where everyone belongs: build it, and invite relatives to add their own side. Photos, stories and birthdays sit beside each person, on iPhone, Android and the web.
Bring your tree from Ancestry or MyHeritage as a GEDCOM file
New on the tree
This is the Kunbaa app itself, with a sample family. Keep scrolling to walk through it.
Hold anyone
Tap a relative to pick them out. Hold them and a ring of actions opens: see the tree from their place, step to their parents or children, add, edit or invite. Small arrows show only where the tree can still grow, and new people glide into place.
How are we related?
Pick any two people and Kunbaa draws the way between them as a lit path through the tree, step by step, with the rest of the family dimmed around it.
Open their page
A relative's page fills the screen: who they are to you, when their birthday comes round, and a tap to chat, call or add a memory. Their story plays the photos and videos they are in.
The tree sorts the family
In the app, your household gets its own group from the tree, and you can start others, with a direct line to each relative. The same tree decides who is in your Household and Extended family when you choose a post's share radius.
Kunbaa starts from the family: who is in it, who sees each post, and what the little ones watch.
Everything below is on kunbaa.com today. Everyone you invite joins free.
Export a .ged file from MyHeritage, Ancestry, FamilySearch, Gramps or Family Tree Maker and import it on kunbaa.com. Kunbaa reads it in your browser, lets you match anyone already in your tree, and writes nothing until you confirm.
Your research stays where it is. Kunbaa is where the living family sees it, adds to it and keeps it current.
Start with the people you know best, then invite trusted relatives to add missing names, dates, photos and stories.
Branch by branch it gets more accurate, nothing goes public, and everyone you invite joins free.

Kunbaa's Family Tree Builder is a modern alternative to public genealogy platforms and private spreadsheets. You build the tree directly in Kunbaa, mapping parents, siblings, partners, children, and extended branches, while keeping your data under your family's control.
A family tree becomes more useful when relatives can understand the context behind the structure. Kunbaa keeps photos, notes, posts, dates, places, and memories close to the people they describe, so the tree can become a living family reference instead of a static chart.
• A family digitizes grandparents' letters, linking each letter to dates and places.
• Parents build a living archive with kids’ voice notes, school highlights, and milestone timelines.
• Cousins in different countries resolve name spellings, nicknames, and relationship details without forwarding spreadsheets.
Can I migrate from Ancestry or MyHeritage?
Yes, as a file. Export your tree from Ancestry or MyHeritage as a GEDCOM and import it on kunbaa.com in a browser: Kunbaa matches it against the people already in your tree and writes nothing until you confirm. Kunbaa reads nothing from those services directly. From there you build and maintain your tree in Kunbaa, and relatives help fill in the branches you do not have yourself.
Is my data used for ads?
Private family tree data stays in your family space and is not used for ad targeting.
How do I handle complex relationships?
Start with the closest confirmed relationships, then add notes and context where family structures need explanation. Keep sensitive details inside the private family workspace.
Families use the tree to connect names, stories, keepsakes, migrations, and milestones so the archive stays useful to both family historians and everyday relatives.

Yes. Your tree lives in an invite-only family space: never published to a public directory, nobody's data sold, and it is shared only with the relatives you invite.
Different job. Those are research tools for finding ancestors through records and DNA, and they hide living people by design; Kunbaa's tree is for the family alive now: the people, their photos, stories and birthdays, in one private place.
Import, yes, on kunbaa.com in a browser. Export a .ged file from MyHeritage, Ancestry, Family Tree Maker or Gramps, upload it under Tools → Import a GEDCOM, match anyone already in your tree, and confirm before anything is written; existing details are kept. GEDCOM export is not switched on in this release. Ask support for a copy of your tree.
Yes. Invite trusted relatives to add names, dates, photos and stories branch by branch. You choose what each person can do as you invite them (add to the tree and post, or just look), can change it later, and a relative who wants more can ask for access.
They belong on the tree. Mark them as passed away with a date or 'date unknown'; their card is marked gently, their photos and stories stay, and they leave the list of people you can invite or message.
Yes, children appear in the tree and in photos, added by the adults. Accounts are 18+, so kids don't get their own logins: adults keep it, kids are in it.
Yes. Build and browse the tree in the Kunbaa mobile app, or in your phone's browser at kunbaa.com. It is the same tree.
Everyone joins free. The tree (no limit on people), the wall, chat and events, plus voice and video calls and Family Safety in the mobile app, with room to build the tree and start the photos. Kunbaa Plus, paid on kunbaa.com or in the app, keeps longer videos in the archive, room for the whole family's archive, and the photos and videos from the family chat.
Yes. When a relative on one tree accepts an invite from the other, the admins on both sides preview the merge, how many people move each way, which pairs are the same person, and both agree before anything changes. If either tree changes after that, both see the change and agree again. A detail the trees disagree on becomes a 'detail to confirm', one of the families needs Kunbaa Plus to keep the joined tree, and a merge can be undone for 90 days.
