A live map of everyone you love. Geofence alerts when kids arrive at school or partners get home. Silent duress when something feels off — backed by a 24/7 control room and certified responders.
A live map is the start, not the whole product. Family Circle adds the things that actually matter when something goes wrong.

Built around the moments that matter — coming home from work, school pickup, first dates, taxi rides, late-night runs to the shops.
See everyone you've added on one map. Updated in real time, with battery-aware location so it doesn't drain phones. Each member appears as a coloured dot with their name — tap to see their route, ETA, and last update time.
Set zones around home, school, work, gran's house, the gym. Get a notification the moment a family member arrives or leaves. No more "you home?" texts. Two-way alerts — everyone in the circle gets notified, not just you.
Going on a first date? Taking a rideshare late at night? Set a check-in. If you don't confirm you're safe at the end, the control room calls you. If you don't answer, we escalate to your emergency contacts — and to certified responders if you've enabled SOS dispatch.
If you're in trouble and someone is watching your phone, a long-press on the SOS button or a deliberate wrong safe-word silently alerts our control room. Your phone screen shows nothing unusual. Dispatchers track your location and route a responder without anyone in the room knowing.
Mom heading home? Her route avoids crime hotspots automatically. If she enters a high-risk hex, you get a passive notification. No more wondering if she took the safe way.
Heading somewhere? Send a one-tap link to anyone — even people who don't have the app. They watch your live route in any web browser until you arrive, then the link expires. No account needed for them.
Every Family Circle member must accept the invite. You can remove anyone at any time. Location stops sharing the instant you leave. You can hide your exact location and show only "in the area" if you want. We don't sell or share your location data — ever.
Family Circle isn't about surveillance. It's about being there for each other — quickly, quietly, when it counts. Every alert can be escalated to our 24/7 control room with the tap of a button.
Family Circle is included on Silver and above. Free to try.
