Biokeeperby BioKeyPer

Keep your family’s story for the people who come next.

Biokeeper is a family tree and family history app. Build your tree, preserve memories, message your relatives privately and keep wills, land titles and certificates in a sealed vault. On Android and on the web.

Family tree and households

Build your family tree together, with every relative in one place.

Add parents, partners, children and cousins. Everyone you add stays in the tree, whether or not they have joined yet.

  • Households with clear roles

    One permanent head, co-admins the head appoints, and an heir you name yourself.

  • Honest about who is who

    Active members, records of people who left, and people who have died are each shown differently.

  • Death is confirmed by the family

    One relative raises it and others confirm. A single objection stops it.

  • One person, one record

    If a relative already added you, Biokeeper asks whether that record is you, so you are never in the tree twice.

Family memories

Preserve family memories, and choose exactly who sees them.

Photos, video, voice, polls and plain words. Every memory has its own privacy setting.

  • Text, photo, video and audio

    Edit a memory later, save the ones you love, and search what you have kept.

  • Bold, italic and strikethrough

    A small toolbar does the typing for you. Mention relatives with @ and they are notified.

  • Polls and stories you can answer

    Vote once, see who chose what, and reply to a status with a message or a quick reaction.

  • Comment threads you can follow

    Replies sit under the comment they answer, and a long thread folds away.

Example memoryShared with Family

The day we planted the mango tree. Everyone came.

Private family chat

Private family messaging that only the people in the chat can read.

Chats are end-to-end encrypted, so Biokeeper’s server cannot read what you write.

  • Edit and delete, the way you expect

    Fix a typo, delete a message for yourself, or delete it for everyone.

  • Disappearing messages

    Turn them on for 24 hours or 7 days, per group.

  • Voice notes, files and documents

    PDFs and text open right inside the app, with a tab for media, docs and links.

  • Groups and communities

    Join by link, code or QR. Admins can approve who joins and mute announcements to admins only.

Only people in this chat can read this

Example conversation

Family events and fundraisers

Plan family events and bring everyone together, near or far.

Plan a reunion, a wedding or a memorial, and let people give toward it.

  • RSVP with or without an invitation

    Anyone who can see an event can answer Going, Maybe or Decline.

  • Contribute by mobile money

    Events and fundraisers collect gifts, and refunds are built in.

  • Fundraisers with a picture

    Tell the story, add a photo, and change it whenever you like.

Digital vault for wills and documents

A secure digital vault for wills, land titles and certificates.

Free for every person. Documents are sealed on your phone, so nobody else holds a key that opens them, including us.

  • Your recovery card

    A 28-character card, kept by you, can open your vault if you lose your phone.

  • Heirs, witnesses and an executor

    Name who receives what, and who confirms before anything is released.

  • A false alarm gets stopped

    If you are asked to confirm a release and you are alive, one tap on “I am here” stops it.

  • Locks itself, hides from screenshots

    Passcode, fingerprint, and automatic locking when you step away.

Privacy and safety

Control your privacy: what is shown, who reaches you, and what stays.

Your details and your account belong to you.

  • Profile privacy, detail by detail

    Birthday, place of birth, email and phone: Everyone, Connections or Only me. Hidden details never reach another phone.

  • Block and report

    Blocking removes the other person’s posts, messages and requests from your view. Reports go to moderators, and removals can be appealed.

  • Notifications you choose

    A switch for messages, family, posts, connections and milestones.

  • Leave on your terms

    Thirty days to cancel, and you choose who looks after the people you wrote down.

Earn from your stories

Earn from the public memories and stories you share.

Price a public memory, rent it for a while, or gather a collection. A purchase gives access, never the copyright.

  • Unlock, rent or subscribe

    Readers pay with mobile money and the memory opens in place.

  • Family never pays

    Your household and family tree always see your memories for free.

  • Earnings you can see and withdraw

    Your balance, sales and payouts in one place, with a 7-day refund window for buyers.
