Gramps Web is a free, open-source web application for browsing and collaboratively editing genealogical databases, designed as a companion to the Gramps desktop app. It offers interactive family tree charts, maps, search, DNA tools, and an AI chat assistant, with self-hosting via Docker and full data ownership.

Use cases

• build a family tree online with family members
• browse and edit my genealogy database from any device
• self-host a genealogy web app with Docker
• share family tree privately with authenticated users
• view ancestor and descendant charts in the browser
• sync genealogy data between desktop and web
• import and export GEDCOM or Gramps XML files
• map where my ancestors lived on an interactive map

When to choose

• you want a self-hosted, privacy-focused genealogy web app
• you already use Gramps Desktop and want web access with bi-directional sync
• you need collaborative multi-user editing with role-based access control
• you want interactive tree charts, maps, and search for family history

When to avoid

• you need a simple shared-hosting deployment (it requires Docker or a VPS)
• you only need offline single-user genealogy software (use Gramps Desktop instead)
• you want a hosted turnkey service without any server management and prefer not to pay a provider
