PlaceNotify vs alt.chat

PlaceNotify keeps you connected to the people who matter — without asking for phone numbers, without forcing anyone to share constantly, and without the creep factor. Just create a circle, invite people with a simple code, and choose when you want to be visible. Every member has a live sharing switch they can turn on or off at any time. When you're sharing, your circle sees your pin on the map. When you turn it off, you disappear — no questions asked. And everyone in the circle can always see at a glance who is currently sharing and who isn't. --- WHAT MAKES PLACENOTIFY DIFFERENT --- - No Phone Number Required Sign up with just an email. We never ask for your phone number, we never sell your data, and your location is only ever visible to people in your own circle — nobody else. -You Control Your Visibility, Always Every member has a real-time sharing toggle. Turn it on when you want your circle to see you. Turn it off when you don't. It's instant, it's obvious, and everyone in the circle can see your sharing status — so there's no confusion about whether someone is visible or not. -Geofence Alerts for the Places That Matter Save the places your circle cares about — home, school, the office, a favorite spot. PlaceNotify sends you a push notification the moment someone enters or leaves. No need to check the app constantly. -Circles, Not Contacts You don't need to sync your address book. Create a circle, share the invite code, and you're connected. Keep different groups separate — family, friends, teammates. -Activity Feed A clean, chronological log of every arrival and departure across your saved places. Always know what happened, even if you missed the notification. - Premium — Unlimited Sharing The free trial gives you full access to explore everything. Premium unlocks unlimited location sharing sessions for your whole circle, so no one gets cut off. --- YOUR PRIVACY, BY DESIGN --- • No phone number ever collected • Location shared only with your circle members • You can stop sharing or delete your account at any time, directly from the app • We don't store your location history • No data sold to third parties. Ever. PlaceNotify is built for people who want to stay connected on their own terms — not an app that tracks you whether you like it or not.
