Is Genea.app actively maintained?
Genea.app logged 15 commits over the last 11 months, but none in the most recent quarter. Development has paused rather than stopped outright — worth watching before a production deployment.
No tagged releases are published, so there is no stable version to pin to — you would deploy from the default branch or a container image built from it.
Genea.app ranks #5 of 5 tracked genealogy projects. Several better-maintained options exist in the same category — they are listed below.
What Genea.app actually does
Genea.app is a web-based genealogy tool that lets you create and edit family trees while keeping your data private. It uses the standard GEDCOM file format and performs all data processing locally within your browser.
Best fit: It suits individuals who want to manage their ancestral records locally without sending sensitive family data to third-party cloud services.
Worth knowing: The project lacks tagged releases and has a low maintenance score, which indicates a higher risk of abandoned development or unresolved bugs.
Deployment notes
As a client-side Javascript application, it typically only requires a basic static web server to serve the assets, without needing a persistent backend database.
