Strom

Family tree application that runs entirely in your browser. No server required, your data stays with you.

Online version: stromapp.info

Features

People & Records

  • Add, edit, delete persons; multiple marriages, divorces, step-siblings
  • Adoptive, step and foster parent-child relationships (drawn distinctly)
  • Flexible dates ("around 1880", "before 1900", year only)
  • Photos, life events (baptism, occupation, residence…), notes
  • Sources & citations with a per-tree catalog; document attachments (scans, PDFs)
  • Duplicate hints while typing; family wizard (add a whole family in one form)
  • Undo/redo for every change

Visualization

  • Interactive tree with generation rows; zoom (scroll/pinch) and pan (drag/swipe)
  • Family, descendants-only and timeline view modes
  • Overview minimap for large trees; advanced search filters with in-tree highlighting
  • Relationship calculator ("second cousin once removed")
  • Family statistics charts; anniversaries panel and "on this day" reminders
  • Responsive design (desktop, tablet, mobile — long-press action sheet on touch)
  • Light/dark theme

Family Collaboration (no cloud)

  • "Send to a relative": e-mail a single file with a personal note
  • The recipient opens it, fills in their branch, and sends it back with one click
  • Strom recognises the returned file and offers a side-by-side merge

Tree Management

  • Multiple trees in one app; rename, duplicate, delete
  • Smart merge with conflict resolution; validation; statistics
  • Automatic versioned backups with one-click restore (time capsules)
  • Person and tree locking

Import / Export / Print

  • GEDCOM import & export (Ancestry, FamilySearch, Gramps; events, sources, PEDI)
  • JSON export/import; HTML file import; branch-only export
  • Standalone HTML file export (the whole app + data, works offline)
  • Printable family book (chapters, sources as footnotes, person index)
  • Poster export (SVG / PNG / tiled print)
  • Living-person privacy filter for every export (initials / anonymous / minimal)

Privacy & Offline

  • No server, no accounts, no tracking — data stays in your browser
  • Optional AES-256 encryption; password-protected exports
  • Installable PWA with full offline mode
