CLUSTER FAMILY-ALERTS-LOCATIONS · 8 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2017-02-06

Family GPS safety apps

This cluster comprises family safety and locator apps that provide real-time GPS tracking, geofence alerts, and emergency notifications. Entries span from 2011 to 2026, with the most dated activity concentrated in early 2025 and early 2026, following long stretches with little to no new members. Findmykids, FamilyGo, and mLite lead on activity signal, though all show zero stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 8 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
