About

TinyBeacon helps parents and legal guardians see the safety moments that matter — without turning family life into a feed. Know when your child arrives at or leaves a named safe zone. See shared location on every build while sharing is on. When your child needs help, they can tap or type a safe word to send an emergency alert. In a new family setup, data-collecting safeguards start off disabled. A demo account may show sample safety choices already enabled. A parent or legal guardian gives consent for each safeguard before it is enabled. You choose what to share, your child can see the shared categories, and you can withdraw any safeguard anytime. We explain what each choice makes visible before you enable it. On iPhone: • Shared family location and safe-zone arrival and leave alerts • Screen-time controls through Apple’s built-in Family Controls • Emergency help on every build • No app-use details or screenshots collected by the iPhone build Capabilities vary by device and build. Some safety heads-ups are limited to separately distributed supervised editions; the public iPhone build does not collect screenshots or message content. Screenshot evidence, when collected by a separately distributed supervised edition, is end-to-end encrypted. Location and other telemetry are encrypted in transit with TLS and at rest with AES-256; they are not end-to-end encrypted. There are no ads and we do not sell family data. Retention is a rolling data window of 7 to 180 days; it does not expire consent, and 30 days is the default. Review your choices, withdraw a safeguard, or request deletion from the app. TinyBeacon is a caring co-pilot for a growing family: clear choices, visible safeguards, and one calm next step when something needs care.

What's New in TinyBeacon

1.7.0

October 5, 2026

- Your child's device check-in time is now shown honestly, so you can see exactly how fresh it is - Safe zones on the map are coloured by whether they are actually active, instead of being guessed from their name - During an emergency the app stays focused on what matters and tucks non-essential tabs away until it is resolved - Turning off your last remaining safeguard now asks you to confirm first, so a child's history is never cleared by surprise - Clearer consent and alert wording throughout, and your child's screen now reflects their real consent state instead of guessing - Encryption wording now says exactly what it covers: screenshot evidence is end-to-end encrypted, while location and other details are encrypted in transit and at rest - Removed a research-sharing toggle that was not connected to anything, and a sample alert that was not real - A device the server had turned away now recovers on its own, and setup copy says plainly when something is not set up yet - More reliable sign-in, more accurate cleanup of older location history, and many smaller fixes
