Privacy-first family safety

Did they get
there okay?

Peace of mind, without the watching.

FamilyHub is a quiet safety assistant for busy families with little ones. It lets you know they got to school, that Grandma's on her way, and that everyone's home for the night — and it's end-to-end encrypted, so nobody but your family can ever see where they are. Not advertisers. Not us.

A day with FamilyHub

A gentle hand on the busiest days.

School runs, playdates, soccer, a grandparent pickup. FamilyHub keeps track of the small hand-offs so you don't have to keep checking — and only speaks up when it matters.

  1. The school run starts itself

    FamilyHub notices the car is moving and quietly starts logging the drive. Nobody has to press a button.

  2. “Mia arrived at school.”

    Draw a circle around school once. From then on you get a single, calm arrival note — no more “are you there yet?” texts.

  3. Grandma's on pickup today

    Invite grandparents with a one-time link. You'll see when they leave school together, even if you're stuck in a meeting.

  4. A quick hello from practice

    Tap to start a live, private check-in with a family device — a quick wave from the soccer field, streamed peer-to-peer and encrypted.

  5. Everyone's home

    One glance at the map, one look at the family chat. Lights out, phones down, nothing left to worry about.

Your family safety assistant

Meet Hub. It lives in your family chat — and on your phone.

Hub posts the arrivals and hand-offs that matter right where you're already talking, and answers when you @mention it. Its AI model runs on your device, so your family's conversations are never shipped to someone else's cloud to be read, stored, or trained on.

  • Arrival and departure notes, woven into the conversation
  • Ask @hub for help — answered on-device
  • Smart and de-duplicated, so it never nags

Privacy you can explain to your kids

Your family sees a map.
Everyone else sees noise.

Most location apps can read everything they store — and many sell it. FamilyHub encrypts on your devices before anything leaves them, so our servers only ever pass along sealed envelopes.

What our servers see

SEA{"ct":"x9Fq2Lr0…

Sealed with XChaCha20-Poly1305. The keys live only on your family's devices — we couldn't read this if we tried.

  • Keys made on your phone

    Your family's encryption keys are created on your own devices and never uploaded. Decryption only happens in your hands.

  • No ads. No brokers.

    We make money from subscriptions, full stop. There's no ad business and no plaintext location to mine or sell.

  • Only who you invite

    Single-use invite links expire in 24 hours. Remove someone and the family's keys rotate, so old keys open nothing new.

  • Run it at home, if you like

    Prefer not to trust anyone's cloud? The sync relay is self-hostable, and the encryption is open to audit.

Grows with your family

From the first school run to the first set of car keys.

Little ones

Know the hand-offs happened

School, nursery, a playdate, Grandma's. Quiet arrival notes for every grown-up in the circle — whoever has them today.

First phone

Independence with a safety net

Walking home alone for the first time? You'll know they arrived without a single “where are you?” text.

Teens

Trust that goes both ways

Automatic drive history for new drivers, and private zones anyone can hide from the map. Safety without snooping.

Grandparents

No app store required

Grandparents can join from the web in one tap, or keep an eye on the family from the big screen in the living room.

Everything in one calm place

Thoughtful tools, not a dashboard.

One live family map

Everyone you love on a single map, updated the moment they move — and gentle on batteries.

Questions parents ask

The honest answers.

Can FamilyHub see where my children are?

No. Locations are encrypted on your family's devices before they're sent, and the keys never leave those devices. Our servers relay sealed data they cannot open.

Does the assistant send our chats to an AI company?

No. Hub's language model runs on your device. The model is downloaded once; your messages are never sent anywhere to generate a reply.

Who can join our family circle?

Only people you invite. Invite links are single-use and expire after 24 hours, or you can pair in person with a short code.

What happens if we remove someone — say, a former babysitter?

The family's encryption keys rotate straight away. They keep nothing new: future locations, places and messages are sealed with keys they don't have.

Will it drain our phones?

FamilyHub is built to be battery-aware. It leans on the phone's own place and motion signals and throttles updates when someone isn't moving.

Do grandparents need a smartphone?

No. They can join from any web browser, or follow along on Apple TV.

Close to your family.
Closed to everyone else.
