FamFinder
A private family locator. See everyone in your circle on one live map, get a notification the moment they arrive or leave, and know your location is never sold.
Everything a family needs. Nothing it doesn't.
FamFinder is location sharing for families who want peace of mind without the noise of a social network.
Live family map
Everyone in your circle on one map, updated as they move. Each member's card shows battery level, speed, and last update. Switch between street and satellite view, with live traffic.
Place alerts
Save home, school, practice, or any address and get a notification when someone arrives or leaves. Choose whose arrivals you hear about, place by place.
Trip history
A clean timeline of every stop and trip, with distance, duration, and top speed for each drive. Tap a trip to see its route on the map.
Private circles
Invite only: people join with a six-letter code. Make separate circles for family, a sports team, or grandparents, and remove members any time as the owner.
Helpful notifications
Arrival and departure alerts, a low-battery warning when someone's phone drops to 20%, and a nudge if your own phone stops sharing.
Your marker, your style
Over 50 map markers: cars, planes, animals, and characters. Pick one and your whole circle sees it move.
Built to be boring about your data.
Plenty of family trackers treat your location as inventory. FamFinder never sells your location or shares it with data brokers. It stays inside the circle you joined.
Your circle only
Your GPS location goes to the members of your circle, nobody else. It is never sold and never shared with data brokers.
Encrypted in transit
Google Play's Data safety section reports no data shared with third parties, and data encrypted in transit.
You're in control
Pause live sharing for everyone with one switch, lock the app behind your own passcode, and delete your account from Settings at any time.
FamFinder uses Firebase and Google Maps to power live location and the map (service providers, not data buyers). Read the full privacy policy →

What FamFinder asks for, and why.
Permissions
- Location ("Allow all the time"): required to share live GPS with your circle, including in the background while the app is closed. A persistent notification shows the entire time sharing is active, so the app never tracks you silently.
- Notifications: to deliver arrival and departure alerts, low-battery warnings, and a nudge if your phone stops sharing.
- Battery optimization exemption (recommended): keeps location sharing reliable when the device is idle.
Safety notice
FamFinder is a peace-of-mind tool for families. Location data may be delayed or inaccurate depending on device, network, or operating-system conditions.
FamFinder is not an emergency service. If someone is in danger, call your local emergency number.
Is FamFinder free?
Yes. The free plan includes the live map, up to 5 members and 3 place alerts per circle, 2 days of trip history, and a set of free markers, with ads. FamFinder Pro is an optional $4.99/month subscription that raises that to 7 members, 10 place alerts, and 7 days of history, unlocks every marker, and removes ads.
Can someone track me without my knowing?
No. FamFinder is never hidden. Everyone installs the app and joins the circle themselves with a six-letter code, a persistent notification stays on the device while sharing is active, and anyone can pause sharing with one switch.
Is my location sold?
No. Your location is never sold and never shared with data brokers. Only the members of circles you have joined can see it.
How do I add family members?
Create a circle, then share its six-letter code with your partner, kids, parents, or close friends. They enter the code in the app and appear on the map. You can also make separate circles, for example for a sports team or grandparents.
How do I delete my account and data?
Open Settings in the app and delete your account. Details are in the privacy policy.
Is there an iPhone version?
Yes. FamFinder is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android.
