Why families look for a Life360 alternative
Not everyone carries a phone
The phone stays in a school bag, a locker or on the kitchen table before a run. Trail-Safe runs on the watch itself, so the person wearing it is still on the map.
Data kept in Europe
Many families want their location handled by a European company, under the GDPR. Trail-Safe is Dutch, and your data stays inside the European Economic Area.
SOS without a subscription
With Trail-Safe, SOS is part of every plan, the free one included.
One app for watch and phone
Watches and phones share one family map, so a household with a mix of devices needs one app, not two.
Trail-Safe is built and run by 2552 BV, a Dutch company. Your account, positions and trails live in a database we operate inside the European Economic Area, under the GDPR. We earn money from plans, not from your data: nothing is sold, no ads, no third-party trackers. Payments on our website go through Mollie, a Dutch payment provider.

Coming from Find My
Is there a Find My app for Android?
No, Find My is Apple's. Trail-Safe runs on Android phones and Wear OS watches, so family members who are not on Apple share their location on the same family map.
Can we keep using Find My next to Trail-Safe?
Yes. Nothing stops you from running both; Trail-Safe does not need to replace anything on your Apple devices.
Does everyone need a phone?
No. Trail-Safe runs on the watch: GPS, the network connection over Wi-Fi or LTE, and SOS all work from the wrist. Family members who would rather use their phone install the phone app and share their location from there, on the same family map.
Where does Trail-Safe store my family's location?
In a database operated by Trail-Safe inside the European Economic Area, under the GDPR. Everything travels over TLS.
Does Trail-Safe sell location data?
Never. We do not sell your data and do not share it with advertisers, data brokers or analytics tools that profile you. The site has no third-party trackers.
What does Trail-Safe cost?
There is a free plan. Paid plans start at €3.99 a month, with Family plans for the whole household. SOS is free on every plan.
Take the watch. Bring the phone if you like.
Start on the free plan — SOS is included on every plan.
