You are your family's memory keeper

Your Family's Stories Are Disappearing. You Can Stop It.

Right now, someone in your family holds stories no one else knows. The way your grandfather laughed. Your mother's secret recipe. The struggles that shaped who you are. When they're gone, those memories vanish forever—unless you preserve them.

We Know This Pain. We Live It.

"My 5-year-old came home from school in tears. His friends shared grandfather stories. He had none to tell. My father passed one week before meeting his grandson."

We're Bright, John-Mark, and Davidson—three childhood friends, now fathers. Two of us lost our dads before our children could meet them. Our kids will never hear their grandfathers' voices.

That's why we built TheLineageApp. Not another genealogy database—a living vault where your family's voices, photos, videos, and written memories are preserved forever. So no family has to experience what we did.

The Painful Truth

When Someone Passes, Their Stories Die With Them

Every family faces this. Not because they don't care—but because there's never been an easy way to capture what matters before it's too late.

Voices Lost Forever

The way they laughed. Their wisdom. The stories only they knew. Gone the moment they're gone.

Memories Scattered

Photos in shoeboxes. Videos on old phones. No context. No stories. Just faces your kids won't recognize.

3 Generations

That's all it takes for family history to vanish completely. Your great-grandchildren won't know you existed.

Preserving Your Legacy Is Simple

No technical skills. No complicated setup. Just three steps to ensure your family's stories live forever.

1

Sign up in 2 minutes. Start your family tree with living and remembered loved ones.

2

Capture What Matters

Share photos, videos, voice notes, and written memories. As easy as posting to social media.

3

Invite Your Family

They inherit your tree instantly. Everyone adds their memories. Your legacy grows together.

What's at Stake

If You Don't Act, This Is What You'll Lose

"I always meant to record Grandma's stories. She passed last Tuesday. Now I'll never hear her voice again."

— What families tell us every week

"My daughter asked about her great-grandfather. I realized I don't even know where he was born."

— The gap grows each generation

"We found a box of old photos after Dad died. We don't know who half the people are."

— Context dies with the storyteller

"I have videos of Mom on my old phone. The screen is cracked. I can't get them off."

— Scattered memories get lost
Imagine This Instead

The Gift You Give Future Generations

Fifty years from now, your great-grandchildren open TheLineageApp. They press play—and hear your voice for the first time. They see your face. They know your story. They know exactly where they came from.

Voice Notes: Your grandchildren hear you telling stories, sharing wisdom, laughing

Photos & Videos: Moments captured with context—they'll know every face and story

Written Memories: Recipes, traditions, life lessons preserved in your own words

Family Tree: A complete lineage spanning generations—no one forgotten

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about preserving your family’s legacy

Is TheLineageApp really free? +
Yes. TheLineageApp is free to download and use. Every user gets 2GB of storage at no cost — enough for hundreds of photos, dozens of videos, and years of family stories. Premium features with additional storage will be available in the future, but the core experience is free.
What is the inheritance system? +
This is what makes us different. When a family member joins using your invitation code, they automatically receive your complete family tree — everyone you’ve already added. Your sister doesn’t have to re-add your mother. Your cousins don’t have to rebuild what you already built. One family, one tree, shared by everyone.
How do I invite my family members? +
When you add a family member to your tree, the app generates a unique invitation code. Share it via text, WhatsApp, email, or any messaging app. When they download TheLineageApp and enter the code, they instantly inherit your entire family tree and can start adding their own memories.
Is my family’s data private and secure? +
Absolutely. Your family’s memories are sacred. We use encryption in transit and at rest, and your data is never shared publicly, never used for advertising, and never sold to third parties. Only family members you invite can access your content. All uploads are automatically screened for safety.
What if someone in my family has already passed? +
You can add deceased family members to your family tree. They’ll appear with a memorial status, and your family can contribute photos, stories, and memories to honor them. Many families start here — it’s one of the most meaningful features of the app.
Can my children use TheLineageApp? +
Users must be 18 or older to create an account. Children can be added to the family tree by a parent or guardian, but they can’t create their own accounts. This protects children’s privacy while still making them part of the family story.
Is it easy for older family members to use? +
We designed TheLineageApp for all ages. Simple navigation, clear buttons, and voice recording as easy as pressing one button. If they can make a phone call, they can preserve their story. And once a family member invites them, they don’t start from scratch — the tree is already built.
What makes this different from Ancestry or MyHeritage? +
Traditional genealogy platforms focus on historical records and building trees backward in time. TheLineageApp captures living memories — the voices, stories, photos, and videos of the family members who are alive today, before those memories are lost forever. We’re a family memory platform, not a genealogy database.
Can I use this if my family lives in different countries? +
That’s exactly who we built this for. Whether your family spans two countries or ten, everyone connects through the same family tree. TheLineageApp was created by diaspora families who understand what it means to keep connections alive across continents.
What happens if I want to delete my account? +
You’re always in control. When you request deletion, your account enters a 30-day grace period where you can change your mind by simply logging back in. After 30 days, your personal data is permanently removed.
