Where your roots stay alive.

Rootsy is a private archive for the stories that never made it into a photo album โ€” grandma's recipes, voice notes from road trips, the street your family grew up on. Collect it. Zip it. Pass it on.

Not another social feed.
A family vault.

Most of what we inherit lives scattered โ€” a folder on someone's laptop, a shoebox in a closet, a voice memo you forgot you saved. Rootsy brings those fragments together in one calm, searchable place you control. No algorithms. No ads. Just the people and places you're rooted in.

โ€œWe built Rootsy because the best stories in our lives were too fragile to leave on a single hard drive.โ€
โ€” The Rootsy team

Everything worth keeping,
nothing you don't need.

Simple tools for the things families actually save โ€” designed to feel warm, not corporate.

01

Story bundles

Group photos, audio, text, and maps into themed collections โ€” a wedding, a hometown, a single summer.

02

Invite-only sharing

Share an archive with siblings, cousins, or close friends. You decide who sees what, always.

03

Export anytime

Download your entire archive as a portable .zip. Your memories aren't locked in โ€” they're yours.

04

Voice & handwriting

Upload recordings and scanned notes. We'll help transcribe them so they're easy to search later.

05

Timeline view

See your family's history laid out by decade, place, or person โ€” however you want to tell it.

06

Built to last

Encrypted storage, redundant backups, and formats that won't disappear when the next app shuts down.

Be first in line.

We're opening Rootsy to a small group of early families this fall. Leave your email and we'll send a single invite when your spot opens โ€” no spam, ever.
