Parents of teenagers
They text back eventually. The map tells you they got to school before that.

PinUs es una aplicación gratuita y autoalojada para compartir tu ubicación, creada para familias y amigos cercanos. Crea un círculo, comparte tu ubicación en tiempo real y recibe una alerta en el momento en que alguien llega a casa.
Step through a normal day and watch what the map does on its own. No one had to text anybody.
Tap a time to jump to it
Three pins sitting on Home. Nothing to do, nothing to check — this is what most of the day looks like.
You saved School as a place once. Now the circle gets told the moment she gets there, and nobody had to ask.
His pin shows he is moving rather than sitting still, so you know not to call right now.
A heads-up before his pin goes quiet, so a dark pin reads as a flat battery instead of something worse.
Chat lives on the same screen as the map, so asking takes one tap. Messages clear themselves after seven days.
The whole day is on the map if you want it — and it deletes itself after seven days if you do not.
Regístrate solo con tu nombre, correo electrónico y una contraseña — no se necesita número de teléfono.
Crea un círculo y comparte el código de invitación, o introduce un código que alguien te haya dado.
Permite el acceso a la ubicación en tu navegador. Todos en el círculo verán tu pin actualizarse en vivo.
Only the people you invited. That's not a setting you have to find — it's how circles work.
Members of a circle you joined.
And you can go invisible any time without leaving the circle.
Same map, very different reasons for opening it.
They text back eventually. The map tells you they got to school before that.
Know when to start cooking without asking "how far away are you" for the fourth time.
Five people, five routes, one map. Nobody waits alone outside the wrong entrance.
A quiet arrival alert when they get home, instead of a phone call that feels like surveillance.
Send one person a link that shows where you are until you're through the door — then it stops.
Who's in, who's out, who's bringing dinner — settled without a group chat nobody reads.
Most family locator apps are free until they aren't. Here's the honest comparison — including where PinUs still falls short.
| Feature | PinUs | Typical locator app |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free, no tiers | Free tier, paid upgrades |
| Ads | None | Often, or upsells |
| Who holds your location data | The server your circle hosts | The company's servers |
| Sold to data brokers | Never | Read the fine print |
| Go invisible without leaving | Yes, anytime | Usually not |
| iPhone app | Not yet — browser only | Yes |
That last row is a real gap, not a spin. On iPhone, PinUs runs in the browser, and browsers stop sharing location when the tab closes. The Android app does keep sharing in the background.
PinUs es una aplicación web para compartir ubicación, pensada para familias y grupos de amigos. Las personas se unen a un "círculo" compartido, y todos en ese círculo pueden ver la última ubicación conocida de los demás en un mapa en vivo, junto con alertas de llegada y salida de los lugares guardados.
Sí. PinUs funciona en el navegador de tu teléfono en cualquiera de las dos plataformas, así que no hay una aplicación separada que descargar para iOS o Android.
Sí. PinUs no tiene planes de pago, no tiene anuncios y no vende tus datos — quien lo aloja lo ejecuta en su propio servidor en lugar de pagarle a una empresa por el servicio.
No. PinUs funciona completamente en tu navegador, ya sea de escritorio o móvil. No hay descarga desde ninguna tienda de aplicaciones.
PinUs comparte tu ubicación mientras la pestaña del panel esté abierta y activa. No te rastreará en segundo plano una vez que cierres la pestaña o el navegador — los navegadores no lo permiten sin una aplicación dedicada.
Solo los miembros de los círculos a los que te has unido. Los datos de ubicación nunca se comparten entre círculos ni se muestran a nadie fuera de ellos.
PinUs tells your circle the things you'd otherwise be texting about.
Nobody outside it is notified, and activity logs delete themselves after 7 days.
One map, everyone on it, and the alerts that mean you stop asking. No dashboard to learn.
