About this app

Your location. Your rules.

glancy is a location sharing app that notifies you whenever someone looks at your location. You decide who can see you, how precisely and for how long. And you can always see who checked.

No one watches you in silence
When someone looks at where you are, you get a notification. Every view also lands in your activity, with a name and a time. Including the one you missed.

Connecting is not sharing
You connect through your glancy IDs, and only once both of you agree. Your address book stays on your phone. A connection alone gives no one your location: you decide that for each person.

You set the rules
- Exact or approximate: share the address or just the area.
- Time-limited: share your location for two hours. Then it ends by itself.
- Pause: become invisible to everyone with one tap. Nothing is deleted, nothing needs explaining.
- Groups: give several people access at once.
- Favorites: your most important people right on the home screen.

For your people
For families where the kids can see when their parents check in. For friends who want to know who has already arrived. And for anyone traveling alone who wants to share their location for one hike, not the whole trip.

iPhone and Android
glancy works across platforms. Your people don't need the same phone as you.

No ads, no data selling
glancy makes money from a subscription, not from your location. We do not sell your location. Not to brokers. Not to advertisers.

Free to use
Notifications on every view, exact or approximate sharing, time-limited sharing, pausing, one group, 3 favorites and 3 days of activity.

- 90 instead of 3 days of activity
- Your own names for your contacts
- Sharing on a weekly schedule, e.g. Mon to Fri, 8 am to 6 pm

glancy+ is available as a monthly or yearly subscription. Payment is charged to your Google Account. The subscription renews automatically until you cancel. You can manage and cancel it in the Play Store under "Subscriptions".
Share your location your way, and know whenever someone checks.

Data safety

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.
  • No data shared with third parties
    Learn more about how developers declare sharing
  • This app may collect these data types
    Location, Personal info, and Device or other IDs
  • Data is encrypted in transit
  • You can request that data be deleted

What’s new

New: the QR code and link for your glancy ID now open the app directly, family invitations too.
Better: glancy+ family now lives in Settings, with seats, members and any open invitations.
Fixed: a brief server hiccup no longer wipes the screen, and the app icon badge only counts what is actually new.
