CLUSTER FAMILY-FRIENDS-LOCATION · 58 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2017-10-05
Family location sharing apps
This cluster comprises family-oriented real-time location-sharing apps that let relatives see each other on a map, with features like check-ins, SOS alerts, safe zones, and battery status. Entries were sparse before 2025 (mostly one per month from 2011 to 2024), then a concentration of roughly two dozen entries appeared between February and July 2025, with a few later entries into 2026. Findmykids: GPS Phone Tracker, Starling, and SafeChildAI lead on traction, though all show zero stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
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.
