Lōc

Share where you are — only with the people you trust,
only when you want.

Ephemeral location sharing for friends and family. Every sharing relationship is consent-gated in both directions, time-boundable, and fail-closed. Deliberately not a broadcast-your-dot-to-everyone-forever app.

The privacy model

Privacy isn't a setting.
It's the whole design.

One rule decides who can see whom, and every part of the app obeys it. Someone sees your location only if all of these are true:

  1. 1 You both belong to the same group, and neither has blocked the other.
  2. 2 You chose to share with that group.
  3. 3 They chose to watch that group.
  4. 4 Your sharing hasn't expired (you can share "for the next hour").
  5. 5 Your master switch is on.

Sharing and watching are independent directions — turning one on never implies the other. Flip the master switch off and no one can see you, even people you'd allowed. Going dark is indistinguishable from a dead battery: Lōc never sends a "stopped sharing" alert to your watchers. The dot just goes stale.

What makes it different

Built privacy-first, not privacy-optional.

Consent-gated both ways

You choose who you share with and who you watch — separately. One never implies the other, and either side can stop anytime.

The master switch

One fail-closed switch hides you from everyone, instantly. Set it to auto re-enable after 1 hour, 2 hours, 24 hours, or a week.

Ephemeral by default

Location history is short-lived, and going dark looks exactly like a dead battery. No "stopped sharing" receipts sent to anyone.

Groups & places

Share per group, not with the world. Drop a place with a geofence and get private arrival & departure notifications.

Anti-stalking receipts

See who can see you, who's watching live right now, and recent views. A first-class screen — not a buried setting.

Sign in your way

Sign in with Apple or email + password. Verification and password reset are quick one-time codes. You're in straight away.

See it

Calm, flat, and legible.

A deliberately quiet interface — solid colours, no clutter, every control where you'd expect it.

How it works

1

Join a group

Scan a QR code or tap an invite link from someone you trust.

2

Choose to share

Turn on sharing for that group — optionally just for the next hour.

3

Stay in control

The master switch overrides everything, and you can always see who's watching.
