Private Family Tree Software – Your Family History, Encrypted and Secure
Most family tree software makes your data public by default or shares it with other users. Private family tree software keeps your family history completely private, with end-to-end encryption ensuring that only you can access your data.
famstory is a privacy-focused genealogy platform designed for people who want to document their family without exposure, social features, or public databases.
Why Choose Privacy-First Genealogy Software?
Your family history contains sensitive information that deserves protection. A privacy-focused approach offers:
- Complete privacy – your family tree is never public or searchable
- End-to-end encryption – your data is encrypted before it leaves your device

- Full control – you decide who sees your family information
