Near&Dear
Stay Close to the Ones You Love
Share your live location with the people who matter most — and stay in control of exactly who sees it.
Everything You Need for Connection
Friend-based location sharing for family, close friends, roommates, and anyone who wants peace of mind.
Live Location Sharing
See your friends' current location in real time, with accurate GPS positioning.
Pinned Locations
Save important places like home, work, or school and share them instead of your live GPS — up to 3 saved locations.
Friend Connections
Search for friends, send requests, and mark your closest people as favorites for quick access.
Map Tracking
View friends' locations on Google Maps, with a "Follow" mode that keeps the camera centered on them automatically.
Per-Friend Privacy Control
Not a generic tracker — sharing is opt-in, per-friend, and reversible at any time. Set each friend to Live, Pinned, or Hidden independently.
