About this app
FamBeacon is a family safety app built for peace of mind, not surveillance. Instead of a map you stare at all day, FamBeacon answers one question , "Is everyone okay?" ,and then gets out of the way. Everything runs in your family's private iCloud. No account sign-up, no ads, no data selling. Ever. A calmer way to stay close Presence shows whether each family member is safe at a glance , home, school, work, or on the way. No creepy real-time tracking required. Walk With Me Heading home late? Start Walk With Me. If you don't arrive by your expected time, your trusted contacts are gently notified. A Live Activity shows a countdown on your Lock Screen, and sharing ends automatically the moment you arrive safely. Tell Me When Get a gentle heads-up when your child reaches school, a parent gets home, or anyone arrives at or leaves a saved place. Powered by battery-friendly geofencing. One-tap check-ins "I'm safe," "Arrived," "Heading home," "Running late" — reassure your family with a single tap, no phone call needed. Safety Signal "No news is good news" only works if you can trust the quiet. Safety Signal shows whether each person's phone is still checking in , Connected, Limited, or Signal lost , so silence is never mistaken for "safe." It's a calm connection indicator, not more tracking, and it works entirely on your device. Where did I park? Tap once to save where you parked, then get walking directions back to your car , or let FamBeacon save the spot automatically when you finish driving. It's just for you: your parking spot stays on your device and is never shared with your family. You can even ask "Where did I park?" right in the app. Emergency SOS One button alerts your whole family with your real-time location — reachable from the home screen, the map, your widgets, and Apple Watch. Always free, for everyone. Presence Modes Choose how much you share per place and time of day: exact location, place name only, or private.

What's new
Version 3.1 · Oct 15, 2026
- New places start at a size that fits: work, school and other big sites get a wider circle, so arrivals there aren't missed. - If a place's circle keeps missing where you actually spend time, FamBeacon now offers to move it there in one tap. It's worked out on your phone, and nothing about it leaves your phone. - When you ask someone where they are, they now get a notification even if FamBeacon is closed. - If the same place is saved in more than one of your groups, one trip now gives you one alert, not one per group. - Resizing or moving a place now takes effect right away for arrival alerts. - Pulse no longer shows someone as "On the move" long after they've stopped. Core safety - SOS, check-ins and the live map - is free for everyone. Always will be.
