## What is FamFind?

See your family on one private map, without handing anyone's location to a company.

FamFind is a family locator where locations go straight from your phone to your family's phones over end-to-end encrypted connections. There is no account, no sign-up, and no FamFind server that stores where anyone has been.

STAY CONNECTED
• A live family map with battery levels and "last seen" times
• Places like Home or School, with arrive and leave alerts
• Location history and trips for the last 30 days, kept on your family's phones
• Family chat, quick reactions and one-tap "ETA?"
• Several families or circles, each with its own members, admins and temporary groups
• Bubbles: share only an approximate area for a while
• Events and rally points, lost-pet alerts and shareable posters
• Look Around street views of a saved place or a family member's position
• Item tags (experimental) for simple iBeacon key finders

SAFETY TOOLS
• SOS: hold the button to alert your family with your live location, then call your local emergency number or text your emergency contacts with one tap
• Check-ins and no-show alerts for when someone hasn't arrived (the person is told when an alert is set for them)
• Optional crash detection (experimental) that starts a countdown before alerting your family
• Optional severe-weather alerts (US and Canada)
FamFind does not contact emergency services for you. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.

YOU'RE IN CONTROL
• Before you join or create a family, FamFind shows exactly who will see what
• Everyone in a family can see who else is in it, and you're told when someone opens your history
• Pause sharing at any time (no location, arrivals, ETA replies or history go out while paused), leave a family, or delete your identity and all FamFind data on your phone
• Block or report a family member from chat
• iOS shows its location indicator whenever FamFind uses location in the background

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Phones sync directly. When they can't reach each other, encrypted traffic passes through a relay that can't read it. Invites are one-time codes that expire, and a family admin approves each new member. There are no ads, no analytics and no data sales.

Your identity is a key that stays on your phone. Back it up with a 24-word recovery phrase.
