WhatsApp is where your family talks. Kunbaa is where your family is kept.
A real family tree you can tap: how everyone is related, their stories and their birthdays, seen only by your family.
Anyone can start a family space, free · Only the people you invite can join · No ads in the app
Where your family lives today
The wedding video is in a group chat.
Nana's voice note is on one phone. The old photos are in a box. The birthdays live in one person's head.
Keep each one with the person it belongs to.
Her stories, written down or recorded as a voice note. Her birthday on her, so the family is reminded without anyone keeping a list. The photos and videos in Moments, seen only by your family.
Photo apps sort by date. Chat apps sort by thread. Kunbaa starts with the person.
Then the tree grows from her — your side, your partner's side, the cousins abroad — and anyone can see exactly how they connect to her.
Start with the person
Tap Dadi. See her place in the family.
This is the Kunbaa app itself, on a test family. Keep scrolling to walk through it.
The family tree
Every branch, both sides.
Your side, your partner's side, the cousins abroad — anyone can see exactly how they connect. Relatives claim their own spot and add the branch only they know.
Tap anyone
See who they are to you.
Each relative's page shows how they are related to you, their birthday and their household. In the app you can turn on relationship names in Hindi — बुआ · Father's sister.
Moments
Photos, stories and voice notes.
Posted to the family wall with the names and the place in the caption — for the whole family, or per post only your extended family or household.
Events
Her birthday, every year.
Birthdays and anniversaries live on people, so the family is reminded without anyone keeping a list.

From the group chat
Bring the WhatsApp group with you
The chatter can stay in the group. Kunbaa keeps what the group loses: WhatsApp compresses photos and holds media only for a limited time, so the wedding video from three years ago can fail to re-download.
Why a file? WhatsApp does not let other apps connect to your groups, so you export the chat yourself. Kunbaa reads the export in your browser and never uploads it — not one message is kept.
Kunbaa Plus
One person keeps it. Everyone joins free.
Everyone in the family talks, calls, shares and is seen for free. Kunbaa Plus is what one person pays so that what the family shares is kept.
Kunbaa Plus is US$15.99 / month or US$159.99 / year — yearly saves 17%, about US$13 a month for the whole family. One person pays, on kunbaa.com; everyone else in the family is covered. Photos and videos sent in chat are kept for 12 months on the free plan. Kunbaa Plus keeps them.
Frequently asked questions
Is Kunbaa free?
For everyone joining a family, yes: the family tree, the wall and events, plus chat, calls and Family Safety in the mobile app (coming soon). There is one paid plan, Kunbaa Plus at US$15.99 / month or US$159.99 / year, and what it buys is keeping: longer videos in the archive, room for the whole family's archive, and the photos and videos from chat kept while you are on Plus. One person pays, on kunbaa.com; everyone else in the family is covered.
What are Moments?
Where the family's photos and videos are kept: what relatives post, newest first, seen only by your family — or, per post, only your extended family or household. It replaced what Kunbaa used to call Memory Lane.
Does Kunbaa use our photos to train AI?
No. Your family's photos, videos and stories are never used to train AI models or for advertising.
Can my kids have their own accounts?
Kunbaa accounts are 18+ on purpose. Kids belong in Kunbaa — in the tree and all over the photos — added by the adults. Adults keep it, kids are in it.
How private is Kunbaa?
Anyone can start a family space, and only the people you invite can join it. There are no ads, nobody's data is sold, and everything is shared only with the family. No public profiles, no discovery, no strangers.
Do we have to stop using WhatsApp?
No. The group is where the family's daily chatter lives. Kunbaa keeps what the group loses — WhatsApp compresses photos and holds media only for a limited time — and it takes the calls once the app is out: a call can only come from a relative in your family space, so nobody hands out a phone number.
How is Kunbaa different from Ancestry or MyHeritage?
Different job. Ancestry and MyHeritage research ancestors — records, DNA, documents — and Kunbaa has none of that. Kunbaa is for the family that is alive right now. Many families use both.

Start with three people and one photo
You, a parent, a grandparent. One photo, with everyone's names written down. It grows from there.
