Parenting in the digital age is hard enough, let MyDearest make your life a little easier. MyDearest is the perfect tool for the modern-day caregiver to keep track of their family and keep them safe. You can view the real-time location of those dearest to you, chat with them, plan events together, and view all the locations you have visited over the past two weeks! MyDearest makes it easy for you to keep track of where your family members are and where you have been.

You have the option to share this with your family members or you can share your real-time location with them.
