RootsDjinn
Genealogy research that surfaces the clusters, name variants, and quiet conflicting dates you would otherwise miss — and exports your whole tree at any time, one click, no support ticket.
Open app →Independent · AI-native · Honest
Software you can trust.
A small studio making honest software for the projects that actually matter to you — your family history, your travels, your memories. AI does the surfacing. You keep the judgment, and the data.
The Workshop
Some of these are live. Some are still on the bench. We will tell you which is which — no fake launch dates.
Genealogy research that surfaces the clusters, name variants, and quiet conflicting dates you would otherwise miss — and exports your whole tree at any time, one click, no support ticket.
Open app →Travel safety maps with risk-zone overlays and a "download this region" mode that works when you are off-grid. Built on open map data, sharp where it counts.
In the workshopA gentle companion for friends and family walking alongside someone living with dementia, Alzheimer's, or other forms of cognitive change. Voice, photographs, and the family tree woven together — so the people who love them can stay connected, even on the hard days.
In the workshopAn illustrated-story studio: build characters, lay out panels, and read along with synced narration. AI helps you draw and stage — the story stays yours.
In the workshopA drum and rhythm workspace that doubles as gentle rhythm-based memory practice. Make a beat, or use the beat to keep someone present.
In the workshopA private, senior-friendly digital home for the gatherings that matter — one big "join the call" button, shared photos, and stories. The companion to RootsDjinn.
ConceptA research workbench for tangled genealogy puzzles — pin sources, sketch hypotheses, and watch contradictions surface as you go. The corkboard for cases that will not solve themselves.
In the workshopDeep-zoom historical maps where borders move and place names change with the years — so a town that no longer exists is still findable, and an ancestor's journey can be drawn across the right century.
ConceptWhy we build this way
Most software makes promises that hide what is really happening. We do the opposite.
Portable exports on a schedule, one click, no support ticket. If we ever close, your work is already in your hands.
The model surfaces patterns and flags conflicts, then hands the call back to you. It is a research assistant, not an oracle.
Plain-English terms. We tell you when AI is used and what it sees. We tell you when a service might not last forever.
We build for ourselves and the small circle of people who think like we do. If we would not use it, we will not ship it. Growth for its own sake makes software no one wants.
