Encrypted before it leaves your phone
Your coordinates are encrypted on your device and wrapped separately for each device of each approved friend. The server stores ciphertext it cannot read — and neither can we.
iPhone & Android Coming Soon
Know they got there safely,
without following everyone
GeoTrackMe shows the live location of the people who agreed to share it with you — and nobody else. No email lookup, no location history, and the server itself cannot read where anyone is.

How it works
Nobody sees you by accident
Sharing only ever starts with an invitation that the other person accepts. There is no way to look someone up and start watching them.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Show your code | Your invite code lives in the app as a QR code and as text. You can hand it over in person or send it however you like. |
| 2. They scan or type it | Scanning the QR code and typing the code do exactly the same thing. Your email address is never used to find you — there is no directory to search. |
| 3. You approve | A request lands in your notifications. Until you accept it, nothing is shared. Requests can be rejected, and accepted people can be removed later. |
| 4. They see you on the map | Only from that point on, and only while your sharing switch is on. |
| Changed your mind? | Generate a new invite code and the old one stops working immediately. People already on your list are not affected. |
Following is one-way, on purpose
Accepting someone lets them see you. It does not put them on your map. If you want to see each other, you each send an invitation — so neither side is quietly signed up for something they did not choose.
Privacy
What the app does with your location
Location sharing apps ask for the most sensitive thing a phone knows. These are the choices we made about it.
Only your latest position
There is no location history. Each update overwrites the previous one, so there is no trail to browse, export or leak.
Your email is not the key
Discovery works through an invite code you control and can replace. Your address is never stored as a way to find you.
Your screen lock guards the switch
Turning location sharing on or off asks for Face ID, Touch ID, fingerprint or your device passcode — so somebody holding your unlocked phone cannot quietly flip it.
Pause one person, not everyone
You can pause a single person without removing them and without telling the rest of your list. Turning the main switch off hides you from everyone at once, including your last known position.
Delete means delete
Deleting your account removes your profile, your shared location and your invite code. You can start it from the web without opening the app.

| Live map | Everyone who shares with you on one map, with a marker that shows how fresh each position is. |
| Update frequency | Choose 5 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes or 10 minutes — a trade between freshness and battery. |
| Background sharing | Keeps sharing while the app is closed, so "are you home yet?" answers itself. |

| Nicknames and photos | Rename a friend and give them a photo that stays on your own device. |
| Works across phones | An iPhone and an Android phone see each other exactly the same way. |

Plans
Free to use, with room to grow
GeoTrackMe is free to download. The free tier shows ads and lets you follow one person; the paid tiers raise that limit and remove the ads. Pricing will be published when the app goes live.
| Plan | People you can follow | Ads |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 1 | Yes |
| Ad-free | 1 | Removed (one-time purchase) |
| Plus 3 | 3 | Removed |
| Plus 5 | 5 | Removed |
| Plus Unlimited | No limit | Removed |
| Family | 5 per member, up to 6 members | Removed |
The limit is on accepting, not asking
Sending an invitation is always free and unlimited. The plan limit applies at the moment you accept somebody — so you are never blocked from letting a family member see you.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is GeoTrackMe available yet?
Not yet. The app is finished and in testing, and it is coming soon to the App Store and Google Play, where it is listed as GeoTrackMe: Location Sharing. This page, the user agreement, the privacy policy and the account deletion tools are live already so you can read the terms before anything ships.
Can somebody track me without me knowing?
No. Sharing only begins after you accept a request, and it only continues while your sharing switch is on. There is no way to look someone up by email or phone number and start following them — the only route in is an invite code that you hand out yourself.
Can you see where I am?
No. Your coordinates are encrypted on your device before they are uploaded, and the key is wrapped individually for each device of each person you approved. What reaches the server is ciphertext, so the operator of the service cannot read it.
Does the app keep a history of where I have been?
No. Only your most recent position is stored, and each update overwrites the previous one. There is no trail to look through, export or lose.
How do I stop sharing with one person?
Pause them from your list. They stay a friend, they simply stop seeing you, and nobody else is affected. Removing them entirely is also one tap, and turning off the main switch hides you from everyone at once — including your last known position.
Do iPhone and Android users see each other?
Yes. Both apps use the same accounts and the same encrypted format, so an iPhone and an Android phone can follow each other in either direction.
How do I delete my account?
From the Delete My Account page on this site — you do not need the app installed. Signing in there with the same account you used in the app deletes your profile, your shared location and your invite code.
