About this app
Findly keeps a family in sight of each other, without handing your movements to an advertising company.
WHAT IT DOES
• Live map — every family member sees every other member's last known position, with a clear marker when a position is getting old.
• Your own interval — each device reports on the schedule you pick: every 5 or 10 minutes when you want freshness, every hour or once a day when you want battery. You choose per device, and you can pause any device entirely.
• Ask where someone is — tap a member and Findly wakes their phone for a fresh, accurate fix, whatever their normal interval is.
• Places — mark Home, School or Work and everyone gets a notification when someone arrives or leaves. Arrivals are detected by the phone itself, which is why it costs almost no battery.
• History — scroll back through where a device has been, on a map and a timeline.
• Temporary groups — going to a festival, a trip or a school outing with people who are not family? Create a group with an end date, share the code, and everyone sees each other on a map until it ends. Group members see live position only — never your history, your devices or your battery — and group locations are deleted automatically when the group is over.
PRIVACY, CONCRETELY
• No advertising. No analytics SDKs. Your location is never sold and never used for ads.
• Your location is visible to your family — people you invited — and to members of any temporary group you chose to join. Nobody else.
• Sign in with your phone number and an SMS code. There is no password to lose.
• Export everything we hold about you, or delete your account outright, from inside the app or from our website — immediately, without emailing anyone.
BATTERY
Findly is built around the phone's own low-power location and geofencing services rather than keeping GPS running. Longer intervals use less battery; the app tells you what each setting costs.

Updated on
Safety starts with understanding how developers collect and share your data. Data privacy and security practices may vary based on your use, region, and age. The developer provided this information and may update it over time.
What’s new
Groups can now run without an end date, and you can create 5 groups and join 5 more. Clearer messages when you hit a limit. The menu opens with the ☰ button, so you can drag the map freely on Android. iOS no longer shows a permanent location icon in the status bar.
