kinhaven: Family Locator

Busy days scatter a family across schools, offices, tuition classes and evening errands. Instead of sending "Where are you?" messages again and again, Kinhaven gives your family one shared map where everyone who has agreed to join can see each other and stay in touch.

Kinhaven works only with people who choose to join. Each member installs the app on their own phone, joins your circle with an invite code and can stop sharing whenever they want.

⚠️ Please Note
Kinhaven is designed for families and friends who agree to share locations with each other. It must not be used to monitor any person without their knowledge and consent. Location accuracy depends on GPS signal, network connection and device settings.

Kinhaven is for parents who want peace of mind on school days, friends meeting up on weekends, and families who simply like knowing everyone got home safely.
