Parents of teenagers
They text back eventually. The map tells you they got to school before that.
- Arrival alerts
- Saved places
- History
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.

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 是一款面向家庭和朋友群组的位置共享网络应用。用户加入一个共享的"圈子",圈子内的每个人都能在实时地图上看到彼此的最新位置,以及已保存地点的到达和离开提醒。
可以。PinUs 在两种平台的手机浏览器中都能运行,因此无需为 iOS 或 Android 单独下载应用。
是的。PinUs 没有付费套餐,没有广告,也不会出售你的数据——托管它的人是在自己的服务器上运行,而不是向某家公司付费购买服务。
不需要。PinUs 完全在你的手机或电脑浏览器中运行,无需从应用商店下载。
PinUs 会在仪表盘标签页打开且处于活动状态时分享你的位置。一旦标签页或浏览器被关闭,它就不会在后台追踪你——浏览器如果没有专用应用是不允许这样做的。
只有你加入的圈子中的成员。位置数据绝不会在不同圈子之间共享,也不会展示给圈子之外的任何人。
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.
