About
Nestward keeps your family close and in sync, privately.
Know that everyone got where they were going. See who's where on one map, get an alert the moment someone reaches or leaves school, work or home, and hold SOS if you ever need your family fast.
Location and safety
• Who's where: everyone on one map, with their place, battery and whether they're driving. Tap anyone to see them.
• Arrival alerts: know when someone arrives at or leaves a saved place, on every family member's phone, even with Nestward closed. Choose whose alerts you get, place by place.
• Expected arrivals: set "School by 8:30 on weekdays" and Nestward tells you if it hasn't heard they arrived.
• Timeline: the places someone went and their drives over the last 30 days, for the people they share with. You always see your own timeline exactly as your family does, and you can turn it off or delete it anytime.
• Driving: see who's driving and how fast, and look back on each drive. Shown, never scored.
• SOS and crash detection: hold SOS and your family gets your exact location until you're safe. Turn on crash detection and, if a drive ends in a hard impact and you don't answer, your family is told where you are.
• Check in, low battery and Location off alerts, On my way with an arrival time, and an Approximate option that shares only your rough area for a while.
Everything else a family coordinates
• Tasks and chores: assign them or post them for anyone to claim, with points and rewards.
• Shared calendar: events, trips and what's due, together.
• Bills and budget: household bills, budgets, trip budgets and allowances. Children see a simple view without the numbers.
• Split with friends: record who owes whom. No money moves through the app.
• Travel and vault: itineraries, packing lists and an encrypted vault for passports and cards that only you can open.
• Group chat and a gentle daily check in for the people you look after.
Private by design
• Your locations, timeline, messages and money live on your devices and in your own iCloud, shared only with the people you choose.
• Sharing is always visible, works both ways, and can be paused anytime. Joining a family never shares your location or money on its own.
• No ads and no data selling.
Made for iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo. Nestward is not an emergency service and never calls anyone for you: in an emergency, call your local emergency number.
