Family location, done right.

Know they arrived safely.
Every day.

Safely is a family GPS built for the parent who checks their phone ten times before the bus gets home. Live map, arrival alerts, and peace of mind — without surveillance.

parents check their phone ten or more times before their kid gets home. Safely was built for that feeling — and so you never have to feel it alone.

End-to-end encrypted
No ads. Ever.
Built by parents

Three steps. Then you breathe.

Setup takes under two minutes. The relief lasts a lifetime.

01

Invite your family

Share a 6-digit code. They install Safely, type the code, and they're in. No accounts to juggle. Sign in with Apple — that's it.

02

Save your places

Home. School. Work. Grandma's. Tap a pin, give it a name. Safely learns the places that matter to your family.

03

Breathe. You'll know.

When anyone arrives or leaves a saved place, everyone in the family gets a gentle notification. No more 'text me when you get there.'

Everything a family needs. Nothing a family doesn't.

We left out the creepy parts. Here's what's in.

Live family map

See everyone at a glance — battery level, last update, movement status. Clean, fast, private.

Places & smart alerts

Save Home, School, Work. Get notified when your people arrive or leave. Quiet hours respected.

Live Activity & Widget

Glance at the lock screen, a home screen widget, or Dynamic Island. Info where you already look.

Private by design

End-to-end encrypted. Sign in with Apple. We don't sell data. We don't show ads. Only your family sees your family.

Privacy-first, not privacy-washed

Only your family
sees your family.

We built Safely because the other family trackers sell your data, show you ads, or treat kids like tracking dots. We refused to do that. Here's the deal:

  • Location data is end-to-end encrypted. We can't read it, and neither can anyone else.
  • No advertising SDKs. No analytics sold to third parties. No data brokers.
  • You own your data. Export or delete it anytime, no questions asked.
  • Sign in with Apple — no email lists, no password resets, no dark patterns.
  • Location history auto-deletes after 30 days. A rolling window, not a permanent record.
  • Designed for families, with kids and teens in mind. Age-appropriate, transparent, respectful.

Questions parents actually ask.

Does Safely drain my battery?

No. We use Apple's Significant Location Change API and geofencing — the same battery-efficient system Find My uses. In our tests, Safely adds less than 2% to daily battery use on an iPhone 15.

Do my kids know I can see them?

Yes. Safely is not stealth tracking. Every family member sees the full family map — parents, kids, partners, grandparents. Transparency is a feature, not an afterthought.

How does it work in the background?

Safely uses standard iOS background location. After you grant permission, the app updates location when it matters — arriving at a saved place, significant movement, or a family member checking in.

Can I cancel the subscription?

Anytime. Open the App Store app, tap your profile, tap Subscriptions, and cancel Safely. Your free trial continues through its final day. No retention calls, no guilt trips.

What countries does Safely work in?

Anywhere iOS works and the App Store is available — 175+ countries. The app ships in English, Spanish, and French today, with more languages coming.

What happens if I lose my phone?

Your family can still see your last known location on the map. When you get your phone back and sign in with Apple, you're back in the family instantly — no data to migrate.

Can kids under 13 use Safely?

Yes, with parental setup. A parent creates the family, invites the child's device, and manages the account. We comply with COPPA: no data collected from children without verifiable parental consent. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Is Safely a replacement for emergency services?

No. Safely is a communication tool for families — a way to share arrival alerts and know everyone is where they should be. In an emergency, always call your local emergency number (911 in the US, 112 in EU, 911 in Mexico).

Ready to stop worrying?

Three days free. Two minutes to set up. One less thing to stress about.
