Relationship maps for people, groups, and claims.
Draw clear, shareable network diagrams in minutes. Add people, label the ties between them, attach sources where needed, and send the map out with a link. Built for families, teams, investigations, fandoms, and other real-world networks that need structure.
Then add a tour so the map unfolds as a story, a timeline so it changes with the years, and a source on each relationship so readers can trace what is known, reported, or rumored.

How it works
Four steps, no account, about five minutes
- 01
Open a new map
One click, no account, no email. A private edit link comes back with it. That link is the only key to the map, so keep it somewhere you will find it again.
- 02
Add the people
Double-click anywhere on the canvas to drop someone in. Give them a name, a photo if you have one, and dates if the map is going to move through time.
- 03
Draw the ties
Drag from the edge of one card to another. Say what the tie is, pick family, business, social or conflict, and add a source if the claim is about real people.
- 04
Share it
The view link is read-only and unlisted, so it goes to whoever you send it to and nobody else. Add a tour or a timeline first if the map tells a story.
The maps above are ours, and they are only examples.
Yours can be a classroom, a family, a league, a fandom, a board of directors, a cast of characters, or something nobody has thought to draw yet. Start from a blank canvas and make it your own. That is what this is for.
Start from a blank canvas →Questions
- What is a netgraf?
- A netgraf is a diagram of the relationships inside a group: every person is a point, every tie between two people is a line, and the shape that emerges is the thing you read. Social scientists have drawn them since the 1930s to show who is central, who is isolated, and where a group splits in two.
- How do I make one?
- Open a new map, double-click the canvas to add a person, then drag from the edge of one card to another to draw the tie between them. Each tie carries a label and a kind of family, business, social or conflict, so the colours do most of the explaining. Share the view link when it is ready. Nothing to install, and no account.
- What can I use one for?
- Anything with people and ties between them: a classroom, a team, a family, company ownership, football transfers, an investigation, the cast of a show. A family tree assumes one kind of tie and a rigid hierarchy, where here any two people can connect for any reason and one person can sit in several networks at once. The example maps on this page are ours and they are only examples. Yours is meant to be your own thing.
- Is it free, and are my maps private?
- It is free, there is no account, and there is no limit on how many people a map can hold. You keep the private edit link that comes back when you create a map. Maps you make are unlisted: anyone holding the view link can read one, but it is never indexed by search engines and never listed on the site. Publishing to the gallery is optional and reversible.
- Can a map show time, and where a claim came from?
- Yes to both. People and relationships can carry dates, and a map that uses them gets a timeline you can play, sweeping across the years so the network assembles and thins out on its own. Every relationship can also carry a source URL and a confidence level of confirmed, reported or rumored, and the confidence is drawn into the line style so a reader sees how solid a claim is without clicking it.
