The Planning Tree is the heart of Rempla — a living visualization of your family, your plans, and the people who matter most. Every connection tells a story.
Relationships are defined between two people, not just from you to everyone. This mirrors how families actually work — and the system is smart enough to connect the dots.
Two ways to define relationships. Direct always wins when both exist.
You explicitly tell the system how someone relates to you. “Karen is my Daughter.” Simple, clear, and always takes precedence.
You define that Olivia is David’s Daughter, and David is your Son. The system walks the chain and determines Olivia is your Granddaughter — no extra input needed.
Work top-down (define each relationship to you), bottom-up (define parent-child links and let the system compute), or mix both. Add a grandchild without parents. Add a son-in-law with a custom label. The system adapts.
Standard types cover most families. Custom labels handle everything else.
