Famloop is a family locator for iPhone and Android built on consent. Everyone in your Loop shares their location by choice, and every location on the map shows how fresh it really is: a stale or offline phone is never shown as live. Safe Arrival Timers, place alerts for home, school and work, SOS, live tracking, directions, chat and history keep families coordinated without secret tracking. No ads, ever. Free for a Loop of up to 3 members.

Could you build this?
Partial The group, map, and alert UI is codeable with Firebase or similar, but reliable background location, accurate freshness signals, and battery-friendly tracking on both iOS and Android are hard to get right without mobile platform expertise.
What it would actually take: Build native or cross-platform (React Native/Flutter) apps with a real-time backend such as Firebase or Supabase for location streams and geofence alerts. The hard parts are background location on iOS and Android under strict OS limits, heartbeat-based staleness detection, and battery optimization, which require mobile engineers who understand platform background execution rules.
