What happens to your data

Five questions to ask about any location app

  1. Does it work on every phone in your family? iPhone and Android, today and after the next upgrade.
  2. What will the features you want actually cost? Free to download isn't the same as free to use.
  3. Who else gets the data? Read the store's privacy section, not just the ad.
  4. Will your kid know what you can see? Kids who feel watched in secret switch it off.
  5. Can you choose how long history is kept? Less history is less to lose.

How Outft answers them

Every phone

Outft is coming soon to iPhone and Android, both on the same day.

Free where it counts

Free to download, safety basics free for every family, kids always free, and no ads on any plan.

Nobody else gets it

Location is end-to-end encrypted, so even we can't see it. We never sell or share your data.

Nothing hidden

In Outft, a parent is a Honcho. A kid can always see what each Honcho can see, and when they checked. History is your choice: none, 24 hours or 7 days.

What to look for in a Life360 alternative
