The next generation of Gramps
Gramps2
Your family tree, together
Gramps2 is a ground-up rebuild of Gramps for iPhone and iPad. Share a tree with your family through iCloud and watch it grow together, put faces on every branch with profile pictures, and let an interactive chart carry you from great-grandparents to grandchildren with a pinch and a tap.
Where it all begins
From paper trail to living tree
Every family tree starts somewhere — old photos, handwritten notes taped to a wall, names half-remembered from birthday cards. Gramps2 is where the puzzle comes together: capture what you uncover, connect the generations, and carry the whole story with you on iPhone and iPad.
The family tree, redrawn
A chart you can wander through
Put anyone in focus, with ancestors above and descendants below. Pinch to zoom, drag to pan, and tap any relative to re-center the tree on them. Profile pictures and life dates sit right on the cards — and when the same person appears in more than one tree, Gramps2 can join your trees into a single view.
Everything in one place
All your trees, and every date that matters
Keep separate trees for each side of the family and see how many people each one holds. The week ahead sits at the top of the home screen, with a dot for every upcoming birthday or remembrance day.
Faces and stories
Every person, in full
Open anyone in the tree to see their life at a glance — facts, partners, and children, each one tap away. Attach photos and documents to a person and star one as their profile picture; it follows them through the chart, lists, and reminders.
On your wrist
Birthdays and remembrance days, remembered
Gramps2 doesn't only celebrate the living. Alongside birthdays, it can remind you of the day someone passed away and of the milestones since — with notifications at the time you choose, an Upcoming Events widget for your Home Screen, and a companion app on Apple Watch, complete with watch-face complications.
Room to breathe
At home on iPad
The full app, laid out for the big screen: your trees and upcoming events in a sidebar, with the chart or a person's story beside them. Explore generations side by side, exactly where a family tree belongs.
What's new in Gramps2
Everything Gramps could do, rebuilt — plus the features families kept asking for.
Share a tree with family
Invite family members to a tree through iCloud. Everyone you invite sees the same tree, and changes sync live between all participants — grandma adds a photo, you see it appear.
Profile pictures
Give every person a face. Attach multiple photos to a person and pick one as their profile picture — it shows up on the tree chart, in lists, and in reminders.
More than birthdays
Get reminded of birthdays and of remembrance days — the anniversary of someone's passing and the milestones since. You choose which reminders you want and at what time they arrive.
GEDCOM import & export
Bring an existing tree in from Ancestry, MyHeritage, or any desktop genealogy tool, and export yours the same way. Your family data is never locked in.
Widget & Apple Watch
An Upcoming Events widget for your Home and Lock Screen, and a companion Apple Watch app, so the next birthday or remembrance day is always a glance away.
