LocaCheck helps you stay connected with the people you love and stay safe from scams — all in one app. STAY CONNECTED WITH LOCATION SHARING • Share your real-time location with family and friends you invite. • Add a friend in seconds with a simple invite code — no phone numbers needed. • See everyone on a map, along with their status and last known location. • Location History — look back over the past few days to see where your friends have been, organized by day. • Trip details — view a route with its distance, travel mode, and stops. • Set a status — let the people you share with know what you're up to. Only you can set your own status, and it expires automatically. • Pause sharing anytime. While paused, your friends can't see your location. • You're always in control: sharing happens only with people you invite, and you can remove a friend or stop sharing at any time. Your location is never shared with anyone you haven't added. CHECK BEFORE YOU TRUST • Phone numbers — get a risk level plus details like country/region, carrier, and line type. • Text messages — check message content and any links inside for common scam patterns. • Links / URLs — check a web address for signs of phishing, such as a very new domain, missing HTTPS, or a look-alike of a trusted brand. • Safety Contact — send a suspicious call, message, or link to one trusted person for a second opinion. Nothing is sent unless you choose to. WHY PEOPLE USE LOCACHECK • Peace of mind for families — know your loved ones arrived safely. • Decide with confidence — clear risk summaries with a plain-language "why this result." • Practical safety tips and one-tap scam reporting to help the community.

About

GhostLink

Features
Read full description

Share your location. Leave no trace GhostLink is a private location-sharing app that helps friends, family, and trusted connections find each other without requiring phone numbers, email accounts, social logins, or an unnecessarily detailed autobiography. Whether you’re meeting friends, checking that someone arrived safely, coordinating a trip, or locating the one person who said “I’m almost there” twenty minutes ago, GhostLink gives you a simple private map for sharing GPS location. WHY GHOSTLINK? • Private location sharing Send encrypted location updates only to people you choose. • Live GPS map View trusted connections and recent movement on a clean, easy-to-read map. • Location trails See where someone recently traveled, with adjustable trail durations. • Privacy radius Share an approximate location instead of your exact coordinates. Close enough to meet up, not close enough to identify your favorite couch cushion. • Expiring connections Location sharing can end automatically instead of becoming a permanent digital houseplant nobody remembers watering. • No phone number or email Your cryptographic identity is created on your device. A username helps friends find you without turning GhostLink into another social network. • Recovery phrase Restore your identity using a private recovery phrase—no “forgot password?” email required. GhostLink is useful as a friend tracker, family locator, travel companion, meetup map, safety check-in tool, private GPS tracker, and encrypted location-sharing app. Your location is personal. Share it deliberately, temporarily, and with fewer awkward group-chat directions.
