Famloop does the handful of things a family needs when someone is late,
on the road, or simply out — and it tells you the truth about every one
of them.
The family map
Everyone who has joined your Loop and turned on sharing, on one warm,
readable map. Each member carries a Signal state
describing how fresh their location genuinely is.
Tap anyone for their battery level, distance and ETA, plus a direct
route to them, live tracking, a message or their history. Switch
between Loops from the title without losing your place.

Until this is fixed, Famloop shows Sam's last real location with a timestamp — never a guess.

Signal states & Signal Check
Freshness is never stored or cached — it is worked out fresh from
what the phone last reported. Live
needs an active sharing session and a fix from moments ago,
so a phone that has sat still for hours cannot appear live.
When something is blocking updates, Signal Check names the exact
setting and links straight to it, instead of leaving you to guess
why a relative is stuck on the map.
Six honest states, never guessed
Readable without relying on colour
Guided fixes for permissions and battery saving
Safe Arrival Timers
Heading home late? Pick a destination and an arrival time. You get a
gentle reminder before the deadline, and check in with one tap when
you get there.
Miss it, and Famloop tells the family members you chose, with your
last known location attached. Those alerts arrive even when
the app is closed.
And if a check-in or SOS fails to send, Famloop says so plainly
rather than showing a reassuring tick. Your Loop is never told
something happened when it did not.

And the rest of it
Place alerts
Save Home, School, Work or anywhere custom, and get told when someone
arrives or leaves. Hysteresis and cooldowns filter out the repeat
false alerts that make other apps unusable.
Schedule a rule for the times that matter — school days only, for
instance. Premium
Live tracking & ETA
Follow a trip in real time with route progress and arrival estimates.
The tracked person always sees that it is on and can stop it — there is
no covert mode.
Location history
Review routes and places day by day. Where no reliable location
existed, Famloop marks a gap rather than drawing a line it is guessing
at.
Free keeps 2 days;
Premium keeps 365. Export any day
as a PDF. Premium
SOS & check-ins
Hold to activate an SOS and your Loop is alerted instantly with your
location and battery level. One-tap "I'm Safe" check-ins work the
other way round.
Driving & speed alerts
A heads-up when a new driver goes past the speed threshold you set,
with noisy GPS blips filtered out so you are not woken by a glitch.
Trip summaries after the drive. Premium
Private family chat
A chat for each Loop, with check-ins and safety events woven into the
same thread. No public profiles, no strangers, no discovery.
Battery & device awareness
See each member's battery level, so "their phone died" becomes
something you can tell at a glance instead of a worry.
Notifications you control
Mute a Loop, pick which events reach you, and choose per timer who
gets alerted. Nothing is all-or-nothing.
Several Loops
Keep immediate family, grandparents and a group of friends separate —
up to 5 Loops of 10 members each. Premium
Joining a Loop
Consent is the first screen, not a setting.
Famloop explains what it needs and why before it asks the system for
anything — so nobody taps "Allow" without knowing what they agreed to.
Famloop
Stay close, honestly. See where your family is — only what they choose to share, always labeled with how fresh it is.
Consent-based · everyone sees who sees them

How Famloop uses your location
Before iOS asks, here's exactly what happens — so you can choose with confidence.
Only your Loop sees you
Your location goes to the 5 people in Home Loop. No ads, no data sales, no exceptions.
Pause anytime
One switch pauses sharing. Your family sees "paused" — honestly, not a fake location.
"Always" keeps timers working
Choose Always Allow so Safe Arrival Timers and alerts work with the app closed.
Continue
iOS will ask next. You can change this anytime in Settings.
Why we ask Explained before the system prompt.
