Places

Home. School. Work. And the moment someone arrives.

Name the places your family moves between. The group sees an arrival on the map they already share — so no one has to ask where anyone is.

Why Places

A dot on the map becomes a place the family knows.

A map shows where someone is. Naming that location is what turns it into something the whole family understands.

Name the routine

The same few locations repeat every week. Giving each one a name is enough to follow the shape of an ordinary week.

Understand the moment

A place can be set up to mark an arrival or a departure — so a location stops being a dot and becomes a moment the group recognises.

One less message to send

“Did you get there?” is a message families send hundreds of times a year. A named place carries that answer on its own.

Key Benefits

What each place changes.

Every family keeps its own list. These are the ones most start with, and what each one adds to a day.

Home

The place everyone comes back to

A day starts here and ends here. Getting home is the arrival the rest of the family is usually waiting on.

School

The hour every parent knows

A school or an academy sits at the same hour every weekday. Setting it up makes that hour part of the day the group already sees.

Work

Both ends of a long stretch

A workplace holds the morning and the evening of a weekday. Leaving is the end a family at home tends to notice.

Hospital

A visit no one carries alone

Sharing the place keeps the family in the same context for a visit — without anyone having to explain it twice.

Favorite places

The rest of a family’s map

A grandparent’s house, a park, a regular café. Anywhere a family keeps returning to can carry a name too.

How It Works

How Places works

Four steps take a location from a name on a map to something a family no longer has to ask about.

Step01
Save a place
Mark a location on the map, give it a name, and set the area around it. That area is what tells the place apart from the street beside it.
Step02
Share it with the group
A place belongs to the family group, not to one device. Everyone in that group sees the same saved places, under the sharing rules the group already uses.
Step03
Set up arrival and departure
A place can be set up so the group is informed around arrival and departure — a child reaching school, a parent getting home, someone leaving work.
Step04
Stay connected without checking
The week keeps its own rhythm. The family follows it on the map they already share, and the question stops being asked.

Whether an arrival or a departure is recognised depends on device location settings, permissions, and network conditions.

Privacy & Trust

Built for a family, not for surveillance.

Places works with location, so the boundaries matter as much as the features. These are the limits it is built around — the reason a family can rely on it for what it actually does.

Places belong to the group

A saved place lives in the family group, not on a single device. Members of the same group see the same list, and it moves with the group rather than with one phone.

The group’s sharing rules apply

Places use the sharing rules the group already has. Joining a family group does not mean sharing everything in it, and a place does not create a new exception to that.

Everyone chooses what they share

Location sharing is each person’s own decision, and the map only shows what the group has shared. A saved place marks a moment — it does not open anything that was not already shared.

Arrival is not a guarantee

An arrival or a departure is not recognised in every situation. Device settings, permissions, and network conditions all affect the result, so Places is not something to rely on for an emergency.
