Free to start. Private, ad-free, hosted in Finland.
Connected through generations.
Start with one person. Say who is who – SukuTree draws the relationships for you, and your relatives can fill it in with you, wherever they live.
How your family tree grows
You say who is in the family – SukuTree does the drawing.
-
Say who, and the tree draws itself
Add parents, partners and children. SukuTree arranges the cards and writes on each line who is whose son, daughter, spouse or half-sibling. Tap anyone, and every card says how that person is related to them – father, aunt or great-aunt.
-
Add people by speaking
Tap Add with help, then Speak, and say in your own words who is who. SukuTree picks out the people and how they are related, and asks before it saves.
-
Paste what somebody wrote
A page of a family book, a relative’s email, your own notes. SukuTree shows everyone it found, with the sentence each came from, before saving.
-
Your tree moves with you
Coming from another family tree program? Start a new tree from its GEDCOM file. Any tree can also be saved as a GEDCOM file for other programs.
-
The whole family in one tree
Invite relatives with a link or by email and build the tree together. You decide who can edit and who can only look, and can change it later.
-
Put the tree on your own website
Make a public link and the tree shows on any web page, no account needed. You choose what it shows: names, dates, portraits, and who stays hidden.
-
Keep the photos, hang the tree
Every person and every family has their own photo gallery. Print the tree as a poster across several sheets, or save it as a PDF.
-
Choose how it looks
Generations or branches; painted, watercolour, flat, stained glass or cross-stitch; and behind it a sky, a sunset, the night or any colour you like.
-
Put the cards where you want them
Drag a card and their family comes along. The arrangement is kept for everyone on the tree, and any move can be undone.
-
Simple for every generation
One row of buttons at the bottom, and a short tour that shows what each one does. When a choice takes two steps, SukuTree lights up the next one.
-
The family as a Christmas tree
Show your family tree in Christmas tree style – the whole family, or one person with their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents – and print it as a Christmas present. Seven designs. Coming in November: order it printed, straight from the app.

What the video shows
A silent tour of SukuTree with an invented example family. The family first appears in the generations view (caption: “Four generations. Zero spreadsheets.”), then in the branches view as a painted tree (“Or as branches. No watering required.”). The drawing style changes to watercolour, flat, stained glass and cross-stitch (“Pick a style. Grandma prefers cross-stitch.”). Behind the tree the background becomes a sky, then the night (“Pick a sky. Weather guaranteed.”). The Christmas tree asks whose tree first: Whole family, then the Starlight design, and the family tree is drawn in Christmas tree style, with a star at the top (“A Christmas tree. Everyone gets a bauble.”). Back in the branches view, Move cards is pressed and Barbara’s card is dragged up with her branch, then the move is undone (“Move a card. The family comes along.”). In relationships mode, tapping Liam puts what everyone is to him under each card: father, aunt, grandmother, great-aunt and so on (“Tap Liam. The great-aunt mystery, solved.”). In focus mode, tapping the line between two half-sisters leaves only Helen and Barbara in view (“Complicated family? Tap the line.”). Helen’s details open in a side panel with her parents, partner, half-sister and children (“Everything about Helen. Minus the gossip.”). Then the two-star button (“Add with help”) opens its two helpers, Speak and Paste text; Speak is chosen and someone says: “Add a daughter for John. Her name is Olivia, born in 2024.” (“Too lazy to type? Just say it.”). SukuTree shows what it heard and proposes Olivia Trevor as John’s child before saving anything (“It asks before it saves. Politely.”). Once saved, Olivia’s card appears in the tree (“Olivia, born 2024. Welcome to the family.”). Finally the print dialog opens with its preview (“Finally, the wall. Nails not included.”).

Our story
We are Angelina and Alain Ryckelynck. Angelina is Bulgarian, Alain is French, and we live in Lohja, Finland: two languages at home were apparently not enough.
The idea came while we were preparing our wedding. We wanted one tree for both families, in both languages, and found no app that made it easy. We both work in IT, so we did the obvious thing: we built our own.
Today we add relatives just by saying their names out loud, and the printed tree hangs on our wall, where our children can explore it on their own and learn their roots. We hope you find it as useful, and as much fun, as we do.
