An online companion, not a Gramps clone.

We'll be honest: Gramps is a serious desktop tool, and Kinleaf isn't trying to copy all of it. What Kinleaf adds is the part Gramps wasn't built for: a calm, modern way to view, edit, and share your tree online and on mobile, while your data stays portable.

What moves between Gramps and Kinleaf

Gramps XML in and out, plus GEDCOM.

Here is exactly what comes across, and what stays behind.

What does not transfer yet: media bundled inside Gramps package files, and deep source and citation records. We would rather say that plainly than surprise you later.

Gramps XML import

Available today

Import your Gramps XML file and keep working in the browser. Your core tree comes across: people, families, relationships, events, and notes. Think of it as core tree portability, not a full copy of everything Gramps stores.

Gramps XML export

Available today

Export your tree back to Gramps XML whenever you want, so you can keep researching in Gramps offline. Your core tree travels with you in both directions.

GEDCOM import & export

Available today

Prefer the format every genealogy tool shares? Kinleaf reads and writes standard GEDCOM too, so you are never tied to a single path in or out.

Mobile access

Your tree in your pocket, at the family gathering.

Gramps lives on your computer. Kinleaf lives in the browser, so you can open your tree on a phone at a reunion, check a date with a relative, or add someone new, then export it all back to GEDCOM when you're home.

  • View and search your tree from any phone or tablet
  • Add and edit people without a desktop install
  • Share a private link with relatives, with no account needed to view

Gramps & Kinleaf questions

01Is Kinleaf a replacement for Gramps?

No, and we won't pretend it is. Gramps is a deep, powerful desktop program. Kinleaf is an online companion, a calm and mobile friendly way to view, edit, and share your tree in the browser. Many people use both.

02How do I move my Gramps data to Kinleaf?

Import your Gramps XML file directly and your core tree opens online in one step. If you prefer, you can export a GEDCOM from Gramps and open that instead. Either way, you can export your tree back out again later.

03What comes across when I import from Gramps?

Your core tree: people, families, relationships, events, dates, places, and notes. Gramps XML import and export are both live for that core data. What does not come across yet is media bundled inside Gramps package files and deep source and citation records, so treat this as core tree portability rather than a lossless copy of everything Gramps holds.

04Can I keep a local backup like I do with Gramps?

Yes. Export GEDCOM, Gramps XML, or a full JSON backup anytime and keep it on your own machine. Your data belongs to you, and nothing is held hostage.

Keep using Gramps. Add an online home for your tree.

Import your Gramps XML file, view and edit your tree anywhere, and export it back to Gramps whenever you like.
