Protego is a family locator and GPS tracker that turns location sharing into something your family will actually enjoy. See your kids, partner, parents and friends moving in real time across a hand-illustrated magic map: parchment paths, winding footprint trails, tiny castles on the horizon. Every person is a small animal in a wizard hat, every home and school a little enchanted landmark glowing on the family map. Where is everyone? Open the map and know. That small moment of relief, a dozen times a day — that's Protego. FAMILY LOCATOR ON A MAGIC MAP • Real-time location sharing for your whole family circle • Live GPS tracking with precise position and last-seen time • A hand-drawn magic map instead of boring blue dots • 7 magical avatars: Owl, Fox, Wolf, Raccoon, Panda, Cat and Frog FIND MY FAMILY, FIND MY KIDS, FIND MY FRIENDS One family tracker for parents, co-parents, teens, couples and friends. Find your kids after school, check that your teen made it to practice, see when your partner is heading home, or make sure grandma got home safe and put her feet up. Everyone you invite shares their location with you, and you with them — by choice, never in secret. PLACE ALERTS (GEOFENCING) Add home, school, work or grandma's house as magical places and get an instant alert when someone arrives or leaves. No more "are you there yet?" texts — the map taps you on the shoulder instead. LOCATION HISTORY Look back at 30 days of routes and journey chronicles: yesterday's adventures, drawn in little footprints across the map. Peace of mind for parents of teens, new drivers and anyone who worries. FAMILY CIRCLES Create a private family circle and invite the people you trust: family, co-parents, caregivers, close friends. A circle is a promise: only the people you choose, no one else. Free plan for 2 people with no time limit. Premium unlocks unlimited members, place alerts and location history. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your location data stays inside your circle. We never sell your family's data and never share it with advertisers. Location sharing in Protego is always visible to the person being located. Protego is a family safety app, not a spy app. Good magic doesn't spy. BATTERY-FRIENDLY GPS TRACKING Background location tracking tuned to go easy on your battery. The map works its quiet magic all day and still leaves you enough charge for the evening. WHO USES PROTEGO • Parents who want a kids location tracker without helicopter parenting • Families with teens who are always on the go • Co-parents coordinating shared custody • Couples and friends who like to share their location • Adult children checking in on aging parents • Anyone who grew up loving magical worlds WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE PROTEGO The same core family locator features you expect from a GPS tracker: live location, place alerts, location history. Wrapped in a map your kids will want to open. Family safety should feel good, not invasive. Checking on someone you love should feel like opening a storybook, not reading a report. FEATURES AT A GLANCE • Family locator app, family tracker and GPS location tracker • Real-time location sharing • Works as a kids tracker, teen tracker or couples tracker — always mutual, always visible • Find my kids, find my friends, find my family • Geofence place alerts on arrival and departure • 30-day location history • Private family circles, free for 2 • Magical avatars and an enchanted map Download Protego, invite your people into your circle, and start seeing your family on a map that finally feels like magic.
