Roots helps families record, preserve and share the life stories of the people they love — before those stories are lost forever.
Free to download · No credit card required
You don't need to be technical. If you can send a WhatsApp message, you can use Roots.
Add the people you want to capture stories from. Invite family members with a simple code.
Choose from 315 curated questions and send a link to any family member — no app needed on their end.
They tap the link, tap record, and speak their answer. It takes two minutes and uploads automatically.
Answers appear in your family archive — searchable, shareable, and safe for generations to come.
The hardest part of preserving family stories is getting older generations to participate. With Roots, they don't need to download anything.
Record answers in your own voice. Hear your grandmother's laugh, your grandfather's accent — preserved exactly as they are.
From childhood memories to life wisdom, love stories to world events. Questions that unlock the stories people forget to tell.
A visual generational tree connecting everyone's stories. See your family history laid out across the generations.
Map the places your family has lived, worked and travelled. A visual timeline of each person's life.
Your family's stories are completely private. Only invited family members can access your archive. Bank-level encryption throughout.
Turn your family archive into a beautifully printed keepsake book. A physical heirloom to pass down through generations.
"Every family has extraordinary stories. Most of them are never written down. Roots exists to change that."
Free to download. Your first family, unlimited members, and your first 50 stories are completely free.
