Roman families kept the faces of their dead in the atrium, joined by painted lines they called a stemma. It is where we get the words family tree. Atrium keeps a family that way: a place you walk into rather than a list you scroll.

Getting started

Start with yourself, then add one person you want to keep. Give them a face, carve a few words into the stone beneath them, and the house has two people in it. From there you add whoever else belongs, and the wall grows.

Blood and chosen

Most family trees model only blood, which quietly leaves out adoption, step-families, godparents and the neighbour who raised you. Atrium carries both kinds of bond. Blood is incised into the stone. Chosen bonds are painted on. Both are real, and they look different because they are different.

Bringing an existing tree

If you already have a tree on Ancestry, MyHeritage or FamilySearch, export a GEDCOM file from that service and import it in Atrium. Your house is populated in under a minute. The review step shows you anything that looked wrong in the file and any person who may already be in your house, and you decide what to keep.

Inviting your family

A house with one person in it stays still. Invite relatives and they can add their own photographs, recordings and words to the same faces, and every contribution carries the name of whoever left it. Only the people you hand a key to can see the house.

Notifications

Atrium will only ever tell you about your family's days. If you would rather it said nothing at all, turn notifications off for Atrium in the iOS Settings app.

Taking your family with you

Settings has an export that writes your entire house to a single file, including every photograph, recording and document. It is yours, and you should never need our permission to take it.
