See how everyone is related
Every card shows how the person is related to you: father-in-law, sister-in-law, great-uncle. The app names everyone for you.
Android app · Google Play
Shajara
Your family tree, on your phone
See how everyone is related, record the elders’ voices and trace the line back seven generations.
Features
What the app does
Your wife’s family in one card
Your spouse’s relatives don’t crowd the tree: they fold into one card that opens with a tap.
Dynasty (yetti pusht)
A dedicated screen for the direct line: how many generations are known and exactly where the gap is.
Voices, photos and stories
Record the elders’ stories right in the app and attach them to the person. Dates can be found in an archive; a voice cannot.
Family book and PDF poster
One button builds the book: the tree, biographies with photos, stories. The poster comes in A4, A3 or A2.
Birthdays
Reminders ahead of time at the hour you choose, with a switch for each person. Memorial days too.

Uzbek names relatives more precisely than English does. An “uncle” is either amaki or tog‘a, and a “cousin” depends on whose child they are. Here are the main words, from parents to in-laws.

Frequently asked questions
Where is my data stored?
Only on your phone, in the app’s private folder. Shajara has no servers and no internet permission, so the data goes nowhere.
How do I move the tree to a new phone?
On the old phone open “Export & share” → “Backup (.shajara)” and send the file to yourself. On the new one install Shajara and choose “Import from file”. Photos travel inside the file.
How do I share it with relatives?
Send them the .shajara file by Telegram, email or any messenger. In their app they choose “Import from file” → “Merge into current tree”, and the new people join their tree.
Can I print it?
Yes. A tree poster in A4, A3 or A2, a separate Dynasty sheet and a family book with biographies and photos — all as PDF. Print at home or at a print shop.
Does it work on an iPhone or a computer?
Yes, through the web version: shajara.isokov.uz. Nothing to install; the tree is kept in that browser. There is no separate iPhone app yet.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. Shajara is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases.
