Family tree application that runs entirely in your browser. No server required, your data stays with you.
Online version: stromapp.info
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

- 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
