FamPing features
📡 5-minute location pings
Every family member's phone reports position automatically to your dashboard.
🏠 Named-place geofences
Mark home, school, work — get an alert the moment someone arrives or leaves, no third party ever sees the address.
🗺️ Full-day path per member
The same stop-clustering engine as Door Tracker draws each family member's day as a route with numbered, timed stops.
👨👩👧👦 Multiple family members, no per-seat fee
Add everyone in the household on one license — Life360 gates member count behind paid tiers.
📱 Android app for family phones
Simple login, background ping with a visible indicator, battery-friendly interval.
🚫 No data-broker business model
There's no ad network or data-sale revenue stream to fund — the app has no business reason to look at what it collects.
📊 Place-time history
See how long someone was actually at school, practice or a friend's house, not just a pin on a map.
🔒 Self-hosted or desktop
Deploy to a VPS for real-time family access, or run it as a single desktop dashboard for local-only monitoring.
$99 once — that's the whole pricing page
Life360 charges $99.99+/yr (Plus) — roughly $100 a year, every year. FamPing is a single payment, and it keeps working whether or not we ever sell another copy.
Or get FamPing inside the full suite — every app in the catalog, currently $97 for the bundle. See the bundle →

Honest answers
Is the $99 price permanent?
It's an introductory rate for the first 1,000 licenses. After that cap, new licenses are $299 — but your purchase price never changes once you've bought.
Does FamPing sell or share location data?
It can't — there's no company in the middle. Location data goes from the family phone straight to the server you deployed, and nowhere else.
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/famping-mvp. The Whop price buys the packaged installer, Android app build and updates.
