Eight little scenes — the same journey your family will take, from a single question at the door to a tree that grows from what they say.
Rootkin opens on a question worth asking someone you love — not a form to fill in.
Together? Tap record. Miles apart? Send the question to them.
One question, a few gentle follow-ups, and room to tell it their way. Rootkin stays out of the story's way.
When they finish one, it offers the next — the second recording is easiest while the voice is still flowing.
Text the question to Mom and it arrives as a gift, with your name on it. She taps, talks, and she's done — no app, no account.
Her answer comes back to you on its own. She never has to figure out how to send anything.
Everything recorded is already safe — you can see it, banked, before you're asked for anything.
A free account simply gives the voices a home, with clean transcripts written for you, automatically.
Whose voice is this? Who was in the story? Rootkin asks; you confirm. No person forms.
The people in her stories become people on a tree — one visit, and it's already four people deep.
After the first visit, Rootkin keeps proposing the next question — one suggestion at a time, never a menu.
And the payoff shows up on its own: the family, listening.
No ads. No tracking. No data sold — and your tree exports to standard GEDCOM any time, because it's yours.
Children's photos and details stay hidden from anyone you haven't approved.
The names, the faces, the voices — one tree, tended together, private to the people who matter most.
