Orinn: Family Locator

Know where your kids are without selling them. Orinn is a calm, private family locator built by a founder who's been in this space since before "family safety apps" became a business model. After watching the category turn into a surveillance funnel — selling kids' real-time location to data brokers, plastering the app with ads, leaking 33 million accounts — we built the version we'd want for our own kids. WHAT ORINN DOES • Live map. See where everyone in your family is, right now, on one screen. • History. A clean timeline of where your kid was today — trips, stops, school, soccer practice. Useful, not creepy. • Geofences ("Spots"). Get notified when your kid arrives at school, leaves home, or steps outside a custom zone. Set up in 30 seconds. • Watch Live. A short, focused live session with 30-second pin updates — for the school pickup, the late-night drive, the "are they almost home" moments. • Watch Over. Predicts your kid's regular trips and quietly tells you if they're late or off-route. No setup needed. • SOS. One tap from your kid sends their exact location to every parent in the family. With a clear, audible alert. • Battery & device alerts. Know when the kid's phone is about to die, when the app's been deleted, or when location was turned off. • Privacy mode. Kids can pause sharing for short periods — like they would with any human relationship — with a clear timer and an automatic resume. • Speed alerts. Get a heads-up if the kid's car hits a dangerous sustained speed. Tap to see the exact stretch of road on a map. WHAT MAKES ORINN DIFFERENT No ads. Anywhere in the app. Ever. No data sold. We don't sell your data, your kid's data, or your location history to anyone. Not data brokers. Not insurance companies. Not "anonymized" partners. The business model is the subscription, full stop. No dark patterns. Pause sharing without a guilt prompt. Delete your account in two taps and your data is actually gone. WE TRACK CARE, NOT BEHAVIOR Orinn shows you where your kid is, not what they're typing. There is no message scanning, no contact list scraping, no browsing history, no app usage tracking. Location and trip safety are the entire surface area — that's the deal. DESIGNED FOR REAL FAMILIES • Works with one parent or two. Both parents get the same view and the same controls. • The kid app shows kids exactly what's being shared and gives them a one-tap pause. • Optional Screen Time controls (bedtime, school hours) — uses Apple's official Family Controls API, never a third-party hack. • Real privacy policy in plain English.

We've watched the category change. We don't like what happened. This is what we'd build today.
