Why families look for a Find My alternative

  • Not everyone has an iPhone

    Find My shares locations between Apple devices. When a partner, child or grandparent uses Android, Trail-Safe puts them on the same family map.

  • A watch that shares on its own

    A Wear OS watch with Trail-Safe shares its location and raises SOS by itself over Wi‑Fi or LTE, with no phone in your pocket.

  • SOS to the whole family

    One press alerts everyone on the family map with your position, on every plan, the free one included.

  • Data kept in Europe

    Trail-Safe is made by a Dutch company, and your data stays inside the European Economic Area, under the GDPR.

Find the alternative that fits

Made for the outdoors

  • No phone needed — phone welcome

    A Wear OS watch records, shares and calls for help on its own over Wi‑Fi or LTE. No watch? The phone app puts you on the same map.

    One press alerts the whole family with your position — free, on every plan, always.

  • Push-to-talk

    Talk to your family walkie-talkie style from the wrist, or from the dashboard.

  • Routes on the wrist

    Draw or import a route and follow it on your watch.

  • Live map & history

    See everyone live, replay where they have been, and get home-zone alerts.

  • Share with anyone

    A live link or a 6-digit trip code for people outside your family — no account needed.

European by design

Your family’s location is not a product.

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.

Read the privacy policy
  • EU company, EU law — a Dutch BV, answerable under the GDPR.
  • Data inside the EEA — your positions and trails stay in Europe.
  • Never sold — not to advertisers, not to data brokers.
  • Delete any time — a single trail or your whole account.

Bring the whole family together in four steps

  1. Create a free Trail-Safe account on this website or in the app.
  2. Install Trail-Safe on each phone or watch: Google Play for Android and Wear OS.
  3. Invite your family by email, or share the family join code from your dashboard. One family map for up to 4 people is the Family plan.
  4. Keep Find My for your Apple devices if you like: Trail-Safe runs next to it.

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.

Can an iPhone and an Android phone share location with each other?

Not through Find My, which shares between Apple devices. Trail-Safe is for Android phones and Wear OS watches today.

Is there a free alternative to Find My?

Yes. Trail-Safe has a free plan for your own watches and phone, with SOS and history, and no ads. Sharing one live family map with up to 4 people is the Family plan, €8.99 a month.

Which watches and phones does Trail-Safe work on?

Wear OS watches (Wear OS 4 and later) and Android phones, from Google Play. The Garmin app is rolling out. Everyone shares the same family map, whatever they wear or carry.

Take the watch. Bring the phone if you like.

Start on the free plan — SOS is included on every plan.
