Wherever your family is, peace of mind. Pinly lets families share their location safely with each other. Did the kids get to school? Did Mom get home okay? You'll know — without having to ask. ■ Live family map See where everyone is on a single map. Battery level and last update time are shown too, so you know what's going on. ■ Place alerts Save the places you go often — home, school, work. Pinly tells you when family members arrive or leave. Save a place once and it's shared with everyone, so nobody has to set it up twice. ■ Distance alerts Get notified when someone goes farther than the distance you set. Set a different distance for each family member, or turn it off entirely. ■ Location history Look back at where they've been today, right on the map. Stops, routes, and active time are summarized automatically. ■ Emergency SOS One tap sends an alert to everyone in the family. Their location and battery level go with it, so help can start right away. ■ Low battery alerts Know when a family member's phone is running low — before you lose touch. ■ You decide who sees you Pinly is not a tracking app. Turn your location on or off for each family member individually. Hide from someone and they simply can't see where you are. You can also check, inside the app, when and with how many people your location was shared. ■ Made for · Parents who worry about the walk to school · Adult children checking in on parents who live far away · Caregivers of older family members · Any family that just wants to stay connected ■ Notes · Location sharing happens only between family members who have agreed to it. · Background location permission is used to keep sharing your location with your family even when the app isn't open.
