One live map
Everyone who shares with you sits on a single map, each marker showing how fresh that position is. Tap a person to centre on them.
Coming soon iPhone & Android · 9 languages
GeoTrackMe shows the live location of the people who agreed to share it with you — completely private, and yours alone. No email lookup, no location history, and thanks to end-to-end encryption not even the server can read where anyone is.

In the app
One map, the people on it, and a switch that turns you off. GeoTrackMe deliberately stops there.
Everyone who shares with you sits on a single map, each marker showing how fresh that position is. Tap a person to centre on them.
Update every 5 or 15 or 30 seconds, or every 1, 5 or 10 minutes. Freshness against battery life — the trade is yours to make, per device.
Sharing continues while the app is closed and the screen is off, so “are you home yet?” answers itself without anybody touching a phone.
Open a friend's position in your usual maps app and drive, walk or ride straight to them — turn by turn.
Rename anyone to whatever you actually call them and give them a photo. Both stay on your own device and are never uploaded.
The two apps share one account system and one encrypted format, so an iPhone and an Android phone see each other exactly the same way.
Use cases
Not surveillance — the small, ordinary reassurances that a phone call would interrupt.
A late shift, a long drive, a last train. Instead of checking in every twenty minutes, the people waiting for you simply watch the dot get closer.
Your child shares with you for the walk or the bus ride. You see them arrive; nobody else does, because they never invited anybody else.
Two cars, one destination, one wrong exit. Everyone sees where the other car actually is instead of pulling over to describe a junction.
An elderly parent who lives alone can share with one person and nothing more. There is no dashboard, no history and no report — just a current position when you need it.
Hiking, cycling or skiing in a group where the pace splits people up. Slow the interval down to save battery and you still know who is behind you.
Phone signal is poor, the stage is loud and nobody can describe where they are standing. The map does it for them.
Privacy
So it is encrypted on your device and stays that way. These are the choices behind that sentence.
Your coordinates are encrypted on your device and wrapped separately for each device of each approved friend. What the server stores is ciphertext it cannot read — and neither can we.
There is no location history. Every update overwrites the one before it, so there is no trail to browse, export, subpoena or leak.
People find you through an invite code that you hand out and can replace at any time. Your address is never stored as a way to look you up — there is no directory to search.
Turning location sharing on or off asks for Face ID, Touch ID, a fingerprint or your device passcode — so somebody holding your unlocked phone cannot quietly flip it.
You can pause a single person without removing them and without telling anyone else on your list. Turning the main switch off hides you from everybody at once, including your last known position.
Deleting your account removes your profile, your shared location and your invite code. You can start it from the web without installing anything.
Accepting someone lets them see you. It does not put them on your map. If you want to see each other, you each send an invitation — so between end-to-end encryption and invitations that go both ways, nobody can be followed by a person they never invited.
How it works
Sharing always starts with an invitation you hand out yourself, and it only begins once the other person accepts.
Your code lives in the app as a QR code and as text. Show the screen in person, or send the code however you like.
Scanning the QR code and typing the code do exactly the same thing. Your email address is never used to find you.
It lands in your notifications. Until you accept, nothing is shared. Requests can be rejected, and people you accepted can be removed later.
Only from that moment on, and only while your sharing switch is on.
Generate a new invite code and the old one stops working immediately. People already on your list are not affected.
Plans
GeoTrackMe is free to download. The free tier shows ads and lets you follow one person; the paid tiers raise that limit and remove the ads. Pricing will be published when the app goes live.
| Plan | People you can follow | Ads |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 1 | Yes |
| Ad-free | 1 | Removed — one-time purchase |
| Plus 3 | 3 | Removed |
| Plus 5 | 5 | Removed |
| Plus Unlimited | No limit | Removed |
| Family | 5 per member, up to 6 members | Removed |
Sending an invitation is always free and unlimited. The plan limit applies at the moment you accept somebody — so you are never blocked from letting a family member see you.
