Know when. Know where. Stay private everywhere else. Meet friends at the park. Know when your family gets home. Check if anyone's at the pickleball court before you drive over. See who's already at the bar after work — and message the group before you leave the office. Most location apps show you where someone is. PositionGuard shows you that they're where they should be. SHARE WITH YOUR PEOPLE Create groups with family, friends, or teammates — each with their own shared places and privacy rules. See each other when you're there. Invisible when you're not. DEFINE YOUR PLACES Set up areas like Home, Work, or the gym. Get notified the moment someone arrives or leaves — no constant checking required. Your group only sees your presence at shared places. Your precise location stays yours. DISCOVER YOUR COMMUNITY Find public groups near you — pickup games, dog parks, neighborhood spots. See who's there before you make the trip. Message the group without leaving the app. INVITE NATURALLY Share a link through iMessage, WhatsApp, or any app you already use. Anyone who taps it gets a preview and joins in one tap. BUILT DIFFERENTLY Area-based sharing — precise coordinates stay yours - You decide who sees you, when, and at what precision - Ghost Mode: disappear completely whenever you want - No ads. No data selling. Ever. Share your presence. Not your every move.
