Geofin is a family location and safety service for households managed by a parent or guardian. Its live family map shows members’ real-time positions down to street level, and custom safe zones can alert a family when a child arrives at or leaves places such as school or home. A one-tap SOS sends live location, audio, and a panic alert to the family. The service also offers live camera access, ambient-audio check-ins, and app and web monitoring with a daily summary of a child’s app and site use. Optional place history creates a trip timeline that can be retained from 24 hours to 30 days, encrypted at rest, and switched off; users can request deletion. Geofin says mixed iPhone and Android families can use the same map, alerts, and plan, with access on Android, iOS, and the web. It is a paid service with a three-day free trial and cancellation at any time. Geofin says it does not sell personal information and primarily hosts data in the European Union. Its terms require informed consent and prohibit stalking, surveillance, harassment, and unlawful use.
Who it is for
Geofin suits parents or guardians managing household safety across iPhone and Android devices. It is intended for personal or household use, and minors cannot create standalone accounts.
