Zuying · Family Tree

Zuying is a genealogy / family tree app. Give every relative a card, and keep their photos, their voice and their stories on it — no account needed, everything stays on your own phone.

A TREE THAT BREATHES
Pan and zoom the whole tree. Bloodlines run along the branches, couples are tied by a heart, and the relatives who have died fade gently.

KINSHIP, WORKED OUT FOR YOU
Great-aunt, first cousin once removed, nephew by marriage. Open anyone and the app tells you what to call them — in the Chinese system of kinship terms as well as the Western one.

VOICES AND FACES, KEPT
Behind each card is a small museum: photos, voice recordings, videos, written stories. What your grandfather told you once can stay in his own voice.

ECHOES
The same birthday as your grandmother. The same zodiac animal as your grandfather. A character shared in your names. Both of you a parent at twenty-eight. Zuying finds these across the generations on its own.

THE FAMILY ATLAS
Put everyone's birthplace on a map and follow one direct line through it: from a grandparent's village to the city you live in now, generations of footsteps joined into one road.

FAMILIES FROM THE HISTORY BOOKS
Two real family trees are built in: seventy-nine generations of Confucius, and Elizabeth II. Open one and see what a grown tree looks like.

YOUR DATA IS YOURS
No account to create, nothing uploaded, no ads, no analytics or tracking of any kind. One .zuying file is the entire tree — share it with a relative and they open a complete copy.

FOUR STYLES, SIX LANGUAGES
Soft Minimal, Aurora Glass, Warm Playful, Heritage. 简体中文, 繁體中文, English, Español, Français, हिन्दी.

The Map tab sends the address text you typed for a relative to Google's geocoding service to turn it into coordinates. Only that line of address is sent — never names, photos or stories. See the privacy policy for details.
