About Ascendance – Family Tree
Ascendance is your family's genealogy tree, built together and reserved for its members. Parents, cousins, uncles and aunts add what they know; the app arranges the generations, links couples to their children and untangles the branches so they never cross. A TREE THAT ARRANGES ITSELF • Add a parent, a partner, a child, a brother or a sister: each generation finds its place. • Four display styles: classic, illustrated tree, horizontal and compact. • Tap a person to highlight their line, pinch to zoom in on a branch. A TREE TO YOUR TASTE • Eleven skins for every taste: living leaf, through the seasons, cherry blossom, embroidery, herbarium, parchment, starry night, lavender, seaside, heraldry, or the classic look. • Each one suits the four styles and the light or dark theme; the leaves sway gently, unless you reduce motion. EVERYONE KNOWS WHO THEY ARE TO EACH OTHER • Each entry tells your relationship to the person: “great-grandfather”, “first cousin”, “half-brother”, “sister-in-law”… • Sosa numbers start from you, and ancestors reached through several lines are flagged. THE ANCESTOR WHEEL • Your ancestors over three to eight generations, as a wheel or a fan, one colour per grandparent. • The share of ancestors found in each generation, and a “?” box to add the one who is missing. THE MAP OF PLACES • Where your ancestors were born, married and died, place by place, and the journey of each life. • Filter by period or by type of event; place a village the map cannot find with a tap. AN ENTRY FOR EVERY LIFE • Dates and places of birth, union and death, occupation, photo. • The life course: baptism, education, military service, moves, emigration… • Notes and sources laid out clearly: reliability, points to check, links to archives. YOUR FAMILY, NOT A SOCIAL NETWORK • The tree is only visible to the members the family's administrator accepts. • Everyone has a role: viewer, editor or administrator. • No advertising, no resale of data. • Sign in with Apple or Google, no password to remember. SEVERAL FAMILIES, ONE ACCOUNT • Belong to several families and move from one to another: your father's, your mother's, your partner's. • Invite your relatives to each one, or join a family with its link or its six-digit number. • Their administrators manage access and roles, divide a shared tree into families that each manage their own entries, and join two trees created apart (on the web). IN SIX LANGUAGES English, French, Spanish, Italian, German and Polish: the app follows your device's language, and everyone in the family reads the tree in their own. ON IPHONE, IPAD, MAC AND THE WEB The tree is the same everywhere. On the web you can also import and export a GEDCOM file (Geneanet, Heredis, Gramps…), find duplicates, see the timeline and print the tree as a PDF. To join a family, just be invited by its administrator. To start your own family's tree, create it in the app: it is free and immediate. SUPPORTING ASCENDANCE Support is optional and unlocks nothing: the app stays the same for everyone. Monthly support is an auto-renewable subscription, renewed every month, which you can cancel at any time in your Apple Account settings.

What’s new
Version 1.9 · Updated October 31, 2026
• Several branches at once: tick them, or switch from one to another in one tap with the chips above the tree. A divided tree's families can be chosen too. • Your account on one side, the family on the other: « My account » for your settings, « Family » for its number, inviting relatives, what is left to check and its administration (requests, roles, dividing into families), now in the app. • Export the tree as a PDF to print or share it. • Linked documents: attach to an entry a record kept in Google Drive, Dropbox or on an archives website. • The ancestor wheel writes birth places and union dates. • Noisette can tuck herself away or vanish, and famous trees have their crown, which you can hide. • Choose your e-mails one by one; a small tree keeps its names when zoomed out. • Bug fixes and stability improvements.
