Guardian is a family GPS tracker designed to help parents stay connected with their children and manage important family safety information in one secure place. View your child’s latest known location, create safe zones around places such as Home and School, receive arrival and leaving alerts, and check useful device information including battery level and the time of the latest location update. CHILD LOCATION SHARING Connect a child’s device using a secure setup code and view their latest known location on your private Family Map. Guardian gives parents a simple way to check the most recently available location from a connected child device—without public profiles, social feeds or unnecessary distractions. HOME AND SCHOOL SAFE ZONES Create safe zones around important family locations, including Home and School. Guardian can alert parents when a connected child device: • Arrives at Home • Leaves Home • Arrives at School • Leaves School • Enters or exits another family safe zone EMERGENCY SOS ALERTS A child can send an SOS alert from their connected device when they need help. Parents can view the alert together with the child device’s available location information, helping families respond quickly when it matters. FAMILY MAP AND DEVICE STATUS See essential family safety information in one place: • Family Map for connected family members • Latest known child location • Child device battery level • Last location update time • Home and School safe zones • Arrival and leaving alerts • Emergency SOS alerts • Optional parent location sharing PRIVATE FAMILY SETUP Create your family group, add child profiles and securely connect each child device using a unique setup code. Family owners manage membership and important family settings. Guardian does not include public profiles or social networking. DESIGNED FOR FAMILY PRIVACY Guardian is built for transparent, parent-managed family location sharing. The app does not include: • Public user profiles • Social networking • Advertising • Selling of personal information • Third-party advertising trackers GUARDIAN PREMIUM Guardian Premium supports up to five child profiles, making it suitable for families managing multiple connected child devices. Guardian combines child location sharing, family safe zones, school arrival alerts, battery status and SOS tools in one focused family safety app. Location availability and notification timing can depend on device permissions, internet connectivity, battery settings and iOS background-location behaviour. Guardian is designed to support family safety and communication, but it does not replace responsible supervision, direct communication or emergency services.
