A genealogy platform that believes your family history belongs to you — not a subscription service, not a data broker, not the cloud.

Coming soon.

You ??? ??? 🔒 encrypted at rest

Privacy Without Compromise

Your data lives on your server. No cloud. No subscriptions. No one mining your family for ad revenue.

Living person data? Encrypted. Even we can't read it.

Every Fact Has a Source

Built for researchers who care about proof, not just pretty trees. If it's not sourced, it's a rumor.

Tamper-evident audit trails. Think blockchain, but useful.

Runs Where You Want

Shared hosting, VPS, home server, Raspberry Pi. If it runs PHP, it runs Ancestralite.

One-click installer. No terminal PhD required.

Gentle Complexity

Powerful enough for seasoned researchers, intuitive enough for your first day. Features reveal themselves as you need them — no manual required, no learning cliff.

Beginner to expert, the interface works with you, not against you.

AI That Stays Home

A non-commercial, on-device research companion that helps you find patterns, spot errors, and ask questions — without phoning home. Or connect to leading AI research tools like Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google when you want more power.

Its name is Kin. Local by default, cloud-capable by choice. Always your call.

Open Core

The complete platform is free and open source. Advanced modules for power users who want even more.

AGPLv3. Read every line. We dare you.
