The family tracker app that puts you on the map too.
Everyone in the circle gets the same map, and your own name sits in the list with a switch beside it. If you can see where someone is, they can see where you are — and they can see that you can.
Start trackingWe sell the app, not the family. No data brokers, no ad partners, no audience segments — and location history is deleted after 30 days whether you ask us to or not.
What a family tracking app looks like when nobody is hiding
Six things the circle shares. Every one of them lands on everyone's phone, including the phone of the person it is about.
Real-time location
One live map for the circle. Every pin carries how old it is — Just now, 4m ago — so a stale dot never passes for a fresh one. What that costs and how close it gets is on the location tracker page.
Location history
Thirty days of places, and each person decides whether their own route is kept at all. Pause sharing and the past days go private with it.
Places and arrival alerts
Save home, school, work. Everyone in the circle gets a heads-up when someone arrives or leaves — the person arriving included.
Check in
One tap tells everyone in the circle — no message needed. I'm here, I'm safe, On my way, Running late.
SOS
Hold three seconds and everyone in the circle gets an alert with your location. SOS is free on every plan, because charging for it would be indefensible.
Low battery alerts
A dying phone is the usual reason a pin goes stale. At 15% the circle is told, so nobody has to invent a worse explanation.
No route trails
The map shows where people are, not everywhere they have been. We draw no breadcrumb line across the city behind anyone, because that picture is the one that turns a family map into something else. Location history exists, it belongs to the person it is about, and it is gone after 30 days.
How we make money, since you are about to hand us a map of your family
One person in the circle pays a subscription, and everyone else uses it on that. That is the entire business model. There is no second revenue line that location data could quietly become.
It matters because "we don't sell your data" has stopped meaning anything in this category — it has been said by companies that were selling audience segments at the time. So here is the version you can check instead.
- Not sold to brokers. Not sold aggregated. Not sold as audience segments.
- Location history is deleted after 30 days. Not archived, not anonymised and kept.
- Cancel in two taps, in the app. Deleting the account takes under a minute and needs no reason.
- This site sets no tracking cookies, which is why you were not asked about any.
Two of these three steps happen on their phone, not yours
You send an invite
By phone number, a link, or a QR code across the kitchen table. Their phone is untouched so far — the phone number tracker page walks through that first step.
They install it and accept
They grant location themselves, on their own device. Until then your invite just sits there saying Invited · waiting to join.
You both appear
Two pins, one map, one list you are both on. Either of you can flip the switch back off without asking the other.
Straight answers
Including the one that costs us the sale.
Is there a family tracker app for Android and for iPhone?
Both. It runs as a family tracker app for Android and as a family tracker app for iPhone, and it runs in a browser tab as well, for the person in the circle who would rather not install anything. The phone tracker page covers what differs between the platforms.
Can anyone see where I am if I have not agreed to it?
No. Their phone lists everyone who can see them, and their own row carries the switch that stops it. There is no configuration of this app that gives one person a view the other cannot see. If that is what you came for, we would rather lose the sale here than at the refund.
What makes this the best app for tracking family rather than one person?
A circle instead of a watcher and a watched. Everyone gets the same map, the same alerts and the same switch — which is the only reason a sixteen-year-old leaves it turned on.
How accurate is the family location tracking app in a city?
Usually a few metres outdoors, worse indoors and between tall buildings — the limits belong to the phone, not to us. When it cannot place someone precisely the app says On the move or gives a distance from a saved place rather than inventing a street.
Is this the best family tracking app?
Ours is not the answer you should take from us — the three checks anyone can run are. If you want a family gps tracker app that quietly watches from one side, this is the wrong one — it is built so everyone sees the same map and knows who can see them. If that symmetry is what you were looking for, it is a strong answer.
How long do you keep location history?
30 days. After that it is deleted automatically, by a scheduled job rather than by a request you have to remember to make.
