PearCircle

PearCircle lets you share live location and presence with the people in your circles - no accounts, no tracking, no subscriptions. Your family's and friends' positions live only on the devices you pair, and no company holds a copy.

Features Private circles - create a circle, invite people via a link or QR code, share live location directly with them Multiple circles - one identity, many circles (family, friends, partners on a trip); switch between them or see everyone at once Places and geofences - long-press the map to drop a Place; everyone in that circle gets a notification when someone arrives or leaves Trips - your motion timeline records each drive or walk over ~1 minute / ~100 m; opt in per-circle to let members see each other's trips on the map Motion at a glance - pins surface walking / driving / flying / stationary state from the device's sensors, with battery and last-seen time Sharing pause - one tap silences your location for the rest of the day or until you flip it back on; peers see "Sharing paused" instead of stale dots Offline map tiles - tiles you've viewed stay cached so the map keeps working without a network connection; download an area in advance for trips into dead zones No accounts - your identity is a cryptographic key pair generated on your device; nothing is tied to an email or phone number Optional self-hosted seeder - run a blind seeder on your own hardware so a circle stays reachable when phones are asleep. It cannot read your locations No data collection - PeerLoom, Google, Apple and no third party ever sees your circle's location data Optional connection relay - when a network stops two phones connecting directly, PearCircle can fall back to a relay PeerLoom runs. It forwards encrypted bytes it cannot read and stores nothing, and one switch in Settings turns it off
