Download MatchFetch
MatchFetch uses a two-part system for your privacy and security. The Chrome extension helps you securely authenticate with your Ancestry account, allowing the Windows desktop app to access and download your DNA match data. The desktop app then generates a private JSON file for advanced, local analysis. You need both components for the full experience.
Why Two Components?
The Chrome extension never stores your Ancestry credentials or sends them to any server. It only helps you authenticate, so the desktop app can securely access and download your match data for analysis—keeping everything private and on your device.
How It Works
Install Both Components
Download and install the MatchFetch Chrome extension and Windows desktop app. Both are required for secure, private analysis of your Ancestry DNA matches.
Authenticate with Ancestry
Use the Chrome extension to securely authenticate with your Ancestry account. The extension does not extract or export your match data—it only enables the desktop app to access your data securely.
Fetch & Analyze Your Data
In the Windows desktop app, fetch your DNA match data from Ancestry (using the authentication from the extension). The app generates a private JSON file for you to save and analyze—no data ever leaves your device.
Explore Powerful Insights
Use advanced filtering, sorting, and visualization tools in the desktop app to discover detailed match information, regional breakdowns, DNA journey communities, and more—all with complete privacy.
