The family tree you actually own

NodeTree is the user-owned graph of human kinship. Import your tree, connect with living relatives in real time, and keep every story in your control — not a corporation's.

Free forever for your first tree · No credit card · Import your GEDCOM in 60 seconds

Everything the giants do poorly

Built on a distributed graph, not a centralized silo. Every new node makes every other node more valuable.

Lossless GEDCOM import

Drop in your export from Ancestry, MyHeritage, or FamilySearch. Every field, date, and source preserved — round-trip guaranteed.

Connection Pulse

The moment a stranger's tree confirms your ancestor, you'll know. Real-time matching across the whole graph.

Node Linking Protocol

A consent-based handshake to merge shared ancestors. Structured, auditable, and revocable — like a merge request for family.

Modern relationship model

Blended families, multiple marriages, adoption, step- and half-siblings, non-binary parentage. Relationships are first-class.

Privacy by architecture

Living people are never publicly discoverable. Node-level privacy tiers and a ghost mode — enforced in the data layer.

Story Capsules

Each ancestor's story is authored by all their living descendants — photos, documents, and memories no record page can match.

From file to family in three steps

The viral loop is the product. Discovery pulls your relatives in.

01
Import or build
Drop in a GEDCOM file or start fresh. Your tree is yours from the first node — readable and exportable anytime.
02
Get matched
Connection Pulse scans the graph and surfaces likely shared ancestors with living relatives within seconds.
03
Link & grow
Send a consent-based link request. When accepted, both trees update in real time — new ancestors, photos, and stories appear.

Pay for access, never per ancestor

Start free. Upgrade when your graph starts paying you back.

Own your tree, no strings.
