Family GPS
for the people
you love most.

GPSforFamily (GPS for Family) is a free family GPS app for Android and iPhone. It works as a family locator: everyone in your private family circle can share their live location on one map, get arrival and departure alerts for places like home and school, look back at location history, and send an SOS alert when it matters.

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 each other's live location and receive place alerts.

Yes. GPSforFamily is a free family locator app with every feature included. There are no subscriptions, paid plans or in-app purchases.

No. GPSforFamily is built for family location sharing with consent. Each person installs the app on their own phone, joins the circle, and chooses to share their location — and can turn sharing off in the app's settings at any time.

Yes, with their phone and their participation. Add your child to your family circle, set safe places like school and home, and you'll get an alert when they arrive or leave — without another “made it?” text.

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.

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.

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.

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. The website preview uses sample data and never requests your location.

Yes — the iPhone app is on its way to the App Store, alongside the Android app on Google Play. Official store links will appear here as soon as each one is live.

SOS sends an urgent alert and your location 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.
