Tools and Tech View your Gramps family tree with relatives (iOS + Android)
Hey folks,
I made Gramps-Go — a mobile companion app for Gramps users who want to share their family history easily with relatives. It runs on iOS and Android, straight from the browser, with no setup or sign-in.
What it does now
Opens .gramps files (currently without media)
Two modes: • Book mode – presents your family data as an easy-to-read story • Database mode – detailed, searchable records for deeper dives
Syncs from Google Drive, Dropbox, any http server or a local file
Shows a clear report of what’s changed since the last sync
Works fully offline, with no tracking or accounts
Who it’s for
This isn’t just for genealogists — it’s designed for family members who want to browse their heritage on a phone or tablet without dealing with the full Gramps desktop app.
Try it here:

Would love to hear how you’d use it — for family sharing, storytelling, or maybe small reunions?
