WHAT IT IS
What is an interactive family tree?
A printed family tree holds still. An interactive family tree moves — you pick a person with your remote, and the whole tree turns and re-centers around them. Parents above, descendants below, every generation a press of a button away.
Bright Branches is the interactive family tree built natively for television: Apple TV, Android TV, Google TV, and Fire TV, with an iPad companion. There are no menus crowding the screen and nothing to learn. If you can change the channel, you can explore two hundred years of your family.

FIVE PATENTED DESIGNS
Five ways to see your family.
FAN CHART · BOW-TIEGeoMeTree
A radiant fan chart that opens like a sunrise. Ancestors arc above, descendants below — six generations readable from across the room. Also available as a print file for framing.
BOW-TIEPodscape
Clean rectangular pods in a bow-tie layout. The most architectural of the five — calm, ordered, and effortless to follow.
ORGANICBright Branches
Our namesake. An organic tree with real roots — ancestors in the branches, the family story growing downward and upward at once.
BRACKETSquare Roots
A tournament-style bracket for your bloodline. Crisp lines, generation by generation — genealogy for people who love structure.
CLOCK FACEFamily Time
Your family arranged around a clock face. Time, literally, in the round — a conversation piece even before anyone picks up the remote.
BRING YOUR TREE
However you built it, it belongs here.
GEDCOM file
Export from any genealogy program and upload. Every name comes with you.
Ancestry
Our concierge brings your tree over — photos, sources, and all.
MADE FOR THE WALL
Watch the room react.
You spent years building this tree on a laptop, mostly alone. Put it on the television and it becomes something else — grandparents pointing, kids asking who that is, the whole family leaning in. This is the payoff for all that research.

COMMON QUESTIONS
The short answers.
A family tree you explore rather than just look at. On Bright Branches, you move through your tree with a TV remote — choose any person and the tree turns and re-centers around them, parents above and descendants below. It's the difference between a framed chart and a living one.
Yes — that's the whole idea. Bright Branches is built natively for Apple TV, Android TV, Google TV, and Fire TV, with an iPad companion app. It's the only family tree experience designed for television.
There's a free tier when you sign in with FamilySearch, so you can see your own tree on your TV before paying anything. Paid plans unlock all five designs, animated artwork themes, and more — details at brightbranches.com/pricing.
