Trace your roots.
Honour your people.
A family heritage platform built for South Africans. Build a shared tree with your relatives, capture clan names, totems, praise poetry, and the stories that hold a family together.
How it works
Three steps. No software to install.
Start your tree
Sign up in 30 seconds. Add yourself, your family name, and your clan (isiduko or seboko). You're ready.
Invite your family
Share a WhatsApp link with each relative. They sign up, claim their profile, and you approve. They can now add their own branch.
Build it together
Each family member fills in what they know best. Your tree grows depth across generations because no one person has to know everything.
The hard part of family trees isn't the tree. It's getting your aunties, cousins, and elders to share what they remember. Lozi is built to make that easy.
What you'll preserve
Heritage that doesn't fit in other apps.
Clan names
Isiduko · Seboko
The clan name that connects you to lineages going back centuries — recorded properly, not lost between generations.
Praise poetry
Izithakazelo · Direto
The praises recited at weddings, funerals, and gatherings. Capture them in full so your children's children can recite them too.
Family stories
Imvelaphi · Setšo
Where someone was born, the house they grew up in, the teacher who shaped them. The details that make a person real.
Free, forever.
No subscription. No paywalls on your family's data. Lozi is free for South African families because heritage shouldn't cost money. We may add optional premium features later for researchers and the diaspora, but the core platform stays free.
