How the master tree works
Step 1 — It Grows Automatically
- No manual charting
- No dragging boxes
- No diagram editing
Whenever you add relationships on a profile, the tree updates everywhere.
Step 2 — It Adapts to Modern Families
The Master Tree supports 14,000+ relationship types for real-life structures:
Icon-friendly short list:
- “Cousin who raised me”
- “Aunt who was also my caregiver”
- “Coach who became like family”
- “Coworker who’s practically a brother”
- “Foster siblings”
Step 3 — It Adds Context, Not Just Structure
Instead of a flat chart, Archoral combines:
- Photos
- Stories
- Textures
- Locations
- Objects & heirlooms
- Life events / timelines
Your tree becomes a living archive, not a worksheet.
Step 4 — It Updates Everywhere
A single relationship updates:
- Both profiles
- Their timelines
- Households
- Addresses
- Branches
- Collections
- The Master Tree itself
One action unlocks dozens of insights.
