READY WHEN YOU ARE
A closer family, in three little steps.
Less setting up. More getting on with your day.
01
Make yourself at home
Get the Android app and create your account. Your family’s new little corner starts here.
02
Bring your people together
Create a private circle and share its code. Your loved ones knock, you approve, and they're in — join as many circles as your life has.
03
Go live your life
Choose to share your location, add your everyday places, and let the little updates come to you.
ONE ACCOUNT, EVERY CIRCLEYour family isn’t one shape.
Your family isn’t one shape.
Neither are your circles.
Be in the circle at home, the one with your parents, and the one for this weekend’s trip — and only let in the people you choose.
Join more than one circle
Switch between circles with a tap. Each one has its own members, safe places and alerts, so the grandparents never see the trip group and the trip group never sees home.
- One location, shared with every circle you’re in
- Leave a circle without losing the others
Join by code, approved by you
Every circle has a six-character code you can read out across a table. Anyone who types it knocks first — an admin approves them before they can see a single pin.
- Guessed codes go nowhere: requests, not access
- Roll the code any time it’s been shared too widely
A safe place to come home to.CONNECTED, ON YOUR TERMSYour family circle.
Your family circle.
Your choice to share.
Being close should feel good. Invite your own people, manage your location permissions, and pause sharing in the app whenever you need to.

A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERINGGood questions.
Good questions.
Simple answers.
A little clarity before you bring
your family together.
How does GPSforFamily work?
Create an account in the app, start your family circle, and share its six-character code. Each person enters it on their own phone; an admin of the circle approves them, and then they enable location sharing. Your family can then see shared locations and receive place alerts.
Can I be in more than one circle?
Yes. One account can belong to several circles — your home family, your parents, a trip with friends — and you switch between them in the app. Circles never see each other: each has its own members, safe places and alerts.
Can a stranger join my circle with a guessed code?
No. Typing a circle's shared code only sends a request; a circle admin has to approve it before that person sees anyone. Repeated wrong guesses are blocked, and an admin can issue a new code at any time. Invites emailed to a specific person skip the approval step, because someone inside sent them.
Can I choose when to share my location?
Yes. Location sharing can be turned off in the app’s settings. Your phone’s location permissions also stay under your control. The website preview uses sample data and never requests your location.
Does everyone need the app?
Each person sharing their phone’s location needs the app, an account, location permission, and an internet connection. A pet needs a compatible GPS device and configured integration; a pet profile alone does not provide live tracking.
Will it work in the background?
The Android app uses a foreground location service. Updates depend on location permissions, connectivity, device settings, and battery optimization. A timestamp helps you understand how recent a location is.
Is GPSforFamily available for iPhone?
The Android app is the first release. An iPhone version is planned, but a release date has not been announced. Official store links will appear here when the apps are available.
What happens when I send an SOS?
SOS sends an urgent alert to your family circle. Delivery depends on connectivity and notification setup. It does not contact emergency services or guarantee a response. Call your local emergency number when immediate help is needed.
