★ Say it · it draws itself

Big family.Short memory.

You have a shoebox of old photos and don't know half the people in them. A grandmother who still knows everyone's name. And a family group chat where nobody can say whose son this guy is. Tell it — SeeWider draws the tree and keeps it.

Free, no card. Names and dates the way your family says them.

A box of photos

They all look familiar.
None of them have names.

Photos with nothing written on the back. People everyone used to know.

Tell it

The way you'd tell it at dinner.

“That's Grandpa, and that's Grandma. Mom's their oldest — the little one's Aunt Laura.”

And done

Everyone in their place.

Aunt on Mom's side, uncle on Dad's. Then send the link to the family chat so the others can add the names you don't know.

1person

At first, it's just you.

Step back a little.

Say it, it draws it

No forms, no “add relative” dialogs. Say “Uncle Tom, Mom's brother” — SeeWider works out which branch he belongs on and puts him there. Tap one of the sentences.

1Say relations the way you say them at home: uncle, cousin, sister-in-law, stepdad.
2Dates and towns the way you'd write them. They stay that way.
3Nothing changes without your yes — it shows you first, then draws.

From Instagram, in one tap

3Say how you're related. Done.

Christmas ’79 — at our house

Christmas ’79. Everyone in this photo had a name.

On the back, Grandpa wrote down who's who, in pencil.

Everyone who goes takes a few names with them.

Now only Mom remembers.

While Mom still remembers, write them down.

Every family has a “who's that?”

With SeeWider

You take out your phone and type his name: “Dad's cousin's son.” One second, and no more polite smiling.

Grandma still remembers. Next time you sit with her, just listen and write it down. The stories stay beside the people, for grandchildren who aren't born yet.

With SeeWider

One link in the chat. Everyone sees the same thing, everyone adds what they know, and the photo stops getting lost between the stickers.

One link
Five minutes. Three generations.

Tell it

A sentence, a paragraph, or the story Grandma has told a thousand times.

Amelia is Oliver's wife, born 1990 in Bristol. They have two daughters, Ava and Lily.

Look, then tick

Nothing changes without your yes. Anything you didn't mean, you untick.

✓Amelia — Oliver's wife
✓Amelia · 1990 · Bristol
Ava — Amelia's sister
✓Ava and Lily — their daughters

Send it to the family

Your cousin knows names you don't. Share only the branch you want to.

In your pocket

All of this is in the Android app too — say it, tick it, send it.

Say it. It proposes. You say yes.
Say it. It proposes. You say yes.

Questions
Can anyone else see my tree?

No, unless you give them the link. And even then you can show just one branch and keep the rest to yourself.

Does it work on iPhone?

The app is Android-only for now, but the web version opens on any phone or computer — iPhone included.

Do I have to type everyone's name?

No. Tell it, and the assistant works out the people and how they're related. You just confirm.

Is it only for family?

No. Colleagues, classmates, friends — anyone who has a place in your life, on the same board.

Grandma still remembers.

Every name you don't ask about today, there may be nobody left to answer tomorrow.
