KinLink does fewer things than most family tracking apps. It does them better. Here's everything that's included, free at launch.
A growing map of the places that matter — not a live dot.
It tells you when something happens. No app-checking.
One tap shares a location, a note, and a photo.
The flagship
Most apps start with a live dot. KinLink starts with Places — the named spots that matter. Every check-in can add one more, so the map fills in with your family's real world over time.
Learn about the Places MeshHome, School, Grandma's, the park — every check-in adds a Place to your mesh.
The full list
Tap any location on the map, give it a name, and set the radius. It becomes part of your Places Mesh.
A growing network of named, meaningful locations that reflects your family's real world, not just a single live dot on a map.
Get notified automatically when a Dependent arrives at or leaves any Place. No app-opening required.
Create Places that are invisible to the Dependent on their own map. A guardian-only layer of awareness.
When a check-in comes in from a new location, create a Place there with a single tap. The mesh grows organically.
Send a check-in request at any time. Your Dependent gets a push notification and can respond in one tap.
The check-in response includes the Dependent's current GPS location, accurate to the device's capability.
Dependents can add a short text note and a photo to their check-in response for context and reassurance.
Every check-in, arrival, and departure is logged chronologically so you can review the day at a glance.
Automatic notification the moment your Dependent enters any Place: home, school, anywhere.
Know when your Dependent leaves a Place, even if they don't tell you.
Instant alert when a Dependent submits a check-in response.
In an emergency, Dependents can trigger an SOS that shares their real-time location and contact details.
Connecting a Dependent requires both a unique invite code and a separate Guardian-generated PIN. Both are required.
There is no silent tracking. Every Dependent actively chooses to pair and can be unpaired at any time.
KinLink does not sell or share your location data with third parties. Period.
Geo-fence alerts and Places Mesh tracking continue in the background; the app doesn't need to be open.
See a Dependent's current real-time location on a map whenever you need it.
A chronological log of every event: check-ins, arrivals, departures. A full picture of the day.
One Guardian account can connect with multiple Dependents: teens, elderly parents, anyone you care about.
