Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source, self-hosted family location tracker with live maps, safety alerts, saved places, and 90 days of history.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The project is deployed as a Docker Compose stack that combines a Go API, REST and WebSocket updates, Caddy HTTPS, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, and a web administration panel. Its stated data model keeps accounts, coordinates, saved places, family roles, safety alerts, and history on the operator’s database rather than a company-operated location service. The homepage specifies 90-day history detail, three safety flows, OpenStreetMap support, and UnifiedPush with ntfy for Android notifications.
