## What is Only / Family?

Know where your people are.

Only Family is private location sharing for the people who actually are your family. Your circle sees you. Nobody else does.

  — SEE THE WHOLE FAMILY IN REAL TIME —
  A live map, battery-aware location, and member pills that show who's where,
  how fresh the fix is, and whether their phone is about to die. Fast enough
  to catch a school pickup. Calm enough to live with every day.

  — SMART PLACES —
  Draw a circle around Home, school, Grandma's. When someone arrives or
  leaves, the circle gets a gentle ping. No one has to text "made it."

  — CRASH DETECTION —
  Always on. If your phone detects a high-g event, you get 60 seconds to
  cancel. If you don't, your circle is alerted with your location — because
  in the worst moments, people shouldn't have to hunt for you.

  — DRIVING INSIGHTS —
  A weekly summary of trips, distance, top speed, hard brakes, and rapid
  accelerations. Useful for new drivers in the house. Not a surveillance
  tool — your circle can see it, a stranger can't.

  — PRIVACY BY DESIGN —
  No data brokers. No ad networks. No "also shared with partners." Your
  location goes to the people in your circle and nowhere else. You can
  leave, pause sharing, or delete your account with one tap.

  — BUILT FOR REAL FAMILIES —
  A clean dark interface that doesn't sell you anything from inside the app.
  Designed to stay out of your way until you need it.

  Know where your people are. That's the whole thing.
