I just discovered this app. I know there are folks out there who think location tracking is the opposite of privacy but it’s a nice security tool to keep track of your loved ones. I found this one thats fully end to end encrypted. I am currently in the works to migrate my family of 10 over. (This includes my grandparents who are less than tech savvy)
Just thought I would share in the event there was a father like me looking for a similar tool that doesn’t sell your location data or breach your data.

I’ve used Grid (https://mygrid.app/) a while ago, since it’s open source, cross-platform, selfhostable (although I did not experiment with that) and E2EE. However, I found it to be a bit buggy, and the location did not always update. Also, the power consumption was pretty high. But, I see that it’s been updated some, since I last used it, so it might have solved some of these issues🤞
