What is Find Family?

Find Family is a simple, end-to-end encrypted location sharing app for family and friends.

Features:

  • End-to-end encryption
  • No emails, phone numbers, or any other personal information required
  • Temporarily turn on or off location sharing with specific people
  • Saved places, with notifications when people enter or leave them
  • See battery status / low battery notifications
  • Fully open source client
  • Share current speed
  • Show how long person has been at place (saved or not)
  • Show location history
  • Temporary location sharing via link (opens in website)

Security: When the app is first started, it generates a random userID, as well as an encryption and decryption key. The userID and the encryption key are sent to the server. The decryption key is kept on your device. When you share your location, the app gets your friend's encryption key from the server, encrypts your location with it, and sends it to the server. The server cannot read the location itself, as the decryption key is only on the recipient's device.

Find Family is part of the Modern Apps ecosystem — a collection of fully open-source Android apps built with Jetpack Compose and Material 3 You.
