The family locator teens don’t hate.

Parents want to know everyone is okay. Teens want room to breathe. homebird makes space for both, with honest sharing controls, clear boundaries, and privacy built into the technology.

For parents

Real safety features, useful alerts, and peace of mind without constant check-ins.

For teens

Choose when you share, see who’s viewed your location, and earn more independence as trust grows.

For everyone

One private nest that works across iPhone and Android.

Private by design

Your location belongs to you.

Your location is encrypted on your phone before it ever leaves your device. Our servers store scrambled information they cannot read. Even the people who build homebird can’t see where you are.

  1. Your phoneLocation encrypted here.

  2. homebird serversOnly scrambled data.

  3. Family phonesDecrypted on your device.

Your location is readable on your device and authorized family devices. Our servers cannot see it.

See exactly what we can and can’t see

Being connected shouldn’t mean being watched.

Sharing isn’t all or nothing. Everyone gets a say in how their location is shared.

Live

Share your live location with your nest when you’re comfortable doing so.

Paused

Take a break whenever you want. Your nest is told when sharing is paused.

Share when asked

Someone can ask where you are. Approve with one tap, or let it share automatically after a timer you choose.

There when it matters. Quiet when it doesn’t.

Good safety tools should help when they’re needed, without demanding constant attention.

SOS

Hold to send an alert to everyone, even when location sharing is paused. “I’m safe” ends it.

Get home

Start a walk-home timer for yourself or your entire nest.

Pick me up

Ask one person for a ride.

Place alerts

Arrival and departure notifications. Places are worked out on your phone.

Low battery

Know when someone may soon lose their phone connection.

Viewed by

See who has looked at your location.

Safety tools in homebird: Get home, Pick me up, Driving and the emergency card

More trust. More freedom.

Growing up means needing a little more space. homebird helps families agree on boundaries that can change as teenagers get older.

  1. A family agreement

    Everyone sees the same rules, and everyone taps “I agree.”

  2. Share your general area

    From an age your family picks, a teen can share their general area instead of their exact spot, once a parent allows it.

  3. All grown up

    When a parent marks someone as an adult, the agreement’s rules stop applying to them.

Accept and connect

A teen chooses their sharing terms and sends a counter-offer. A parent reviews and accepts those terms to connect. Independence is built by agreeing, together.

A little home, wherever life takes you.

Keep the little things that make family life easier, together in one private place.
