A canvas like paper
Warm tones, classic serif names, connectors drawn the way you'd draw them by hand. Hundreds of relatives stay smooth — built and tested past 400 people.
A family tree · kept like an heirloom
Every family
is a story.
Build a living tree of the people you love — and keep it, privately, forever on your device. No cloud. No account. No subscription.
Tap two people to see how they're related.

The register
Made for real families,
not databases.
Kinestry is a focused tool with one hero: the tree. Everything in it exists to help you record, explore and pass on your family's story.
Kinship, explained
Tap any two people and see exactly how they're connected — "your father's sister's grandson" — traced step by step through the tree.
Gentle with the past
Year-only dates are welcome; grandma's exact birthday can stay a family mystery. Photos, places and notes on every person.
Share the story
Export an elegant vector PDF to print as a poster, a high-resolution image for the family group chat, or GEDCOM — the universal format, so you're never locked in.
Backups you own
One tap writes a complete backup — photos included — to a file on your phone. Restore any time, or carry your whole tree to a new device.
Desktop Mode
Your tree, on the big screen. Still no cloud.
Open Kinestry in your laptop's browser over your home Wi-Fi. Edit with mouse and keyboard, upload photos from your computer, watch changes appear live on both screens — even with the phone locked in your pocket.
Your phone is the server. The connection never leaves your home network, and it ends the moment you say so. No other family tree app does this without a cloud.

The promise
We couldn't read your tree
if we wanted to.
Kinestry has no servers, no accounts, no analytics and no trackers. Your family's names, dates and photos live in one place: your phone. The Play Store listing says "No data collected" because there is nothing to collect it with.
Kinestry is made by one person, not a company. There are no investors to answer to and nothing to sell — which is the only reason an app like this can promise to stay free and stay off the cloud.
