From their website
whereoscope.com ↗Whereoscope is a family-location app that tracks children's location and provides automatic arrival/departure notifications for predefined places, with emphasis on privacy and security within a family-only data model.
The app runs on smartphones to provide real-time location updates of family members without requiring active input from the children. It supports multiple predefined places (e.g., Home, School, Work) and sends automatic alerts when a family member arrives at or leaves these locations. Location data is stored in a secure data center and access is restricted to family members, aiming to minimize battery impact while maintaining continuous visibility.
Who it’s for: Parents and guardians seeking real-time location visibility of their children for safety and coordination within a family network.
