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

One Tuesday, one circle
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
Live map
Everyone is still in
Three pins sitting on Home. Nothing to do, nothing to check — this is what most of the day looks like.
Places & arrival alerts
Maya arrived at School
You saved School as a place once. Now the circle gets told the moment she gets there, and nobody had to ask.
Live status
Dad is driving
His pin shows he is moving rather than sitting still, so you know not to call right now.
Battery alerts
Sam's phone is at 12%
A heads-up before his pin goes quiet, so a dark pin reads as a flat battery instead of something worse.
Circle chat
"Grabbing food — want anything?"
Chat lives on the same screen as the map, so asking takes one tap. Messages clear themselves after seven days.
History
Everyone back, nobody texted
The whole day is on the map if you want it — and it deletes itself after seven days if you do not.

Who can see all this?
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.
Never sees you
- Other circles — even ones you're also in
- Advertisers and data brokers
- Anyone without your invite code
- Search engines and the public web
And you can go invisible any time without leaving the circle.
Who ends up using PinUs
Same map, very different reasons for opening it.
Two people, opposite schedules
Know when to start cooking without asking "how far away are you" for the fourth time.

Checking on aging parents
A quiet arrival alert when they get home, instead of a phone call that feels like surveillance.

What makes this different
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.

よくある質問
PinUsとは何ですか？
PinUsは、家族や友人グループ向けの位置情報共有ウェブアプリです。ユーザーは共有の「サークル」に参加し、そのサークル内の全員がリアルタイムマップでお互いの最新の位置情報を確認できるほか、保存した場所への到着・出発通知も受け取れます。
PinUsはiPhoneとAndroidの両方で使えますか？
はい。PinUsはどちらのプラットフォームでもスマートフォンのブラウザで動作するため、iOS・Android向けの個別アプリをダウンロードする必要はありません。
PinUsは無料ですか？
はい。PinUsにはサブスクリプションプランや広告がなく、あなたのデータを販売することもありません — ホストする人は企業にサービス料を払う代わりに、自分自身のサーバーで運用しています。
アプリのインストールは必要ですか？
いいえ。PinUsはモバイルまたはデスクトップのブラウザ上で完全に動作します。アプリストアからのダウンロードは不要です。
バックグラウンドでも位置情報の共有は動作しますか？
PinUsはダッシュボードのタブが開いて有効な間、位置情報を共有します。タブやブラウザを閉じた後はバックグラウンドで追跡されることはありません — 専用アプリなしではブラウザがそれを許可していないためです。
誰が私の位置情報を見られますか？
あなたが参加しているサークルのメンバーだけです。位置情報がサークル間で共有されたり、サークル外の誰かに表示されたりすることは決してありません。
You stop having to ask
PinUs tells your circle the things you'd otherwise be texting about.
- Maya arrived at Home Left School 22 min ago · 4.1 km · top 48 km/h
- Dad isn't at Work yet You asked to be told if he hadn't arrived by 09:15
- Sam's phone is at 12% His pin may stop updating soon
- Jo was doing 118 km/h On the drive between Home and Airport
- Maya sent an SOS Location shared with everyone in Family right now
Every alert stays inside the circle
Nobody outside it is notified, and activity logs delete themselves after 7 days.
This is the whole thing
One map, everyone on it, and the alerts that mean you stop asking. No dashboard to learn.
