Familo
Limassol, Cyprus
What it is
Familo is a smartphone app for families and friends to share live locations and stay in contact. Members can see group locations, and the app can notify the group when someone reaches or leaves a predefined place. Group chat remains available when location sharing is switched off. A safety alert can send a member’s current location to their contacts, and each group can have up to 20 members. Users choose when and with whom to share location data, including modes that limit transmission. The free Basic plan costs nothing. Premium adds unlimited places, a timeline of check-ins and check-outs beyond one day, a panic button, and unlimited live-location lookups. Its price is displayed at purchase, and subscriptions renew automatically each billing period unless canceled. Familo is available on Android and iOS, but not currently on computers. The privacy policy says precise real-time location data is stored for up to two weeks, with only the latest 300 activities per group retained.
