Quick start

1. Launch Dóru and click Open Project… (or press F1 → Open Project). Choose or create a folder — this folder is your project.
2. Dóru creates the project skeleton automatically (silently):

My Family/
├── tree.doru         the tree itself (SQLite, branded with an app id)
├── settings.json     project settings (reserved for future use)
├── theme.css         your custom theme overrides (see Themes)
├── history.jsonl     audit log — every change with its author
├── media/            place photos and scanned documents here
└── export/           default location for GEDCOM exports

3. Get data in: click Import GEDCOM… and pick a .ged file (GEDCOM 5.5 / 5.5.1 dialects are imported; exports are written as GEDCOM 7.0). Or start from scratch with Add Person.

Projects can be opened in tabs — several trees side by side. Recently used projects are listed in the sidebar, and your open tabs are restored on the next launch. Double-clicking a *.doru file (or opening a doru://open?path=… link) opens it in the running app.

Next steps

• Working with the tree — persons, families, sources, notes.
• Configuration — the doru.json reference.
• AI and agents — let an agent read and edit your tree.
• Themes — make it yours with theme.css.
