Get automatic **Place Alerts** when they arrive or leave, or get their location on-demand. You're always in control.
Get MyBuddy on Google PlayA Partnership in Safety
Our features are independent—use just one, or use them all. The person with the app is always in control. We designed MyBuddy to build trust, not create conflict.
Built on Consent
The app owner must approve any buddy requests and all automatic Place Alerts. No one can be located without their full knowledge and consent.
Privacy by Default
When a feature is off, it's off. We never passively record your location in the background. Period.
No App Needed for Buddies
Your trusted contacts can get your location from any web browser on any device—iPhone, PC, or Android. No pressure on your family to install anything.
A Powerful Toolkit for Peace of Mind
Automatic Place Alerts
Get automatic notifications when a child arrives at school or a vulnerable relative leaves home. All alerts require the app owner's final approval.
On-Demand Location
Authorize trusted contacts to request your location when they need it. Your phone can reply for you if you're unable, providing a crucial safety net.
Private Journey Maps
Record a map of your run, walk, or drive for your eyes only. Your journey history is automatically emailed to you, then deleted from our servers, keeping your long-term data in your control.
Works Without Data via SMS
The core on-demand location feature sends a map link via a simple SMS, making it a true lifeline when you have no mobile data signal.
A Note from the Developer
"I've seen how technology can create conflict. I built MyBuddy because I wanted a safety tool that respects my privacy and the privacy of my loved ones. There is no large company behind this, no data harvesting for advertising, and no venture capital funding to answer to. It's just a tool built with care to help people stay connected safely and respectfully. When you send feedback, you're talking directly to me."
