A family tree shows the lineage. LifeCharted shows the life.
Build the personal life timeline that completes your family history research — every residence, career, migration, and milestone, organized by year and mapped by location.
The personal record your research needs
Family trees capture lineage. LifeCharted captures the life behind the lineage — every address, every job, every move, organized by year.
Every place you lived or traveled appears on an interactive world map — ideal for tracing the geography of your family's migration story.
Once your timeline is built, the AI can draft a written life history grounded in facts you've entered — useful for family history archives and personal records.
Download a Life Resume PDF and a written narrative — both structured for inclusion in family history books, genealogy archives, or estate planning documents.
Genealogists know records are incomplete. LifeCharted is built for that — "lived in Warsaw between 1948 and 1952" is enough to create a timeline entry. Exact dates are optional.
Send a read-only link to relatives anywhere in the world. No account required for recipients — they see your full timeline in a browser.
How genealogists use it
“I've been building our family tree for 15 years. LifeCharted is the first tool that lets me document what the living members of my family actually experienced.”
“I used LifeCharted to document my parents' immigration story — every city they lived in from Poland to Chicago. The map view made it tangible in a way spreadsheets never could.”
“The AI interview was remarkable for getting my 81-year-old mother to talk about decades she'd never discussed. It asked the right questions at the right pace.”
Common questions
Yes — they serve different purposes. Family tree software documents who you descended from. LifeCharted documents what you personally lived — your career, residences, health, and relationships. The two complement each other.
Premium users can share a read-only link with anyone — no account required. You can also export a Life Resume PDF and a written narrative, both useful for family history archives.
LifeCharted is designed for one personal timeline per account. For documenting a relative, you'd use your account as a historical record project. The approximate-year feature is especially useful when exact dates are unknown.
Seven: Residence, Education, Work, Sports, Health, Travel, and Achievements. Each appears as a separate color-coded lane on the visual Gantt timeline. You can toggle lanes on and off for a focused view.
