Location sharingwithout surveillance.
End-to-end encrypted, in real time. Sign up with a passkey, no phone number or email needed.
Built so we can't see where you are.
End-to-End Encrypted
Your phone encrypts your location before sending it. Nobody else can read it, including us.
Private Maps
Grid renders maps with our own Protomaps tiles. Google and Apple never see where you’re looking.
You Control Everything
Pick who can see you and for how long. Turn it off whenever.
Your Data Stays Yours
We don’t sell anything to anyone. There are no ads and no third-party trackers in the app.
Unlimited Sharing
Make as many groups as you want. There’s no premium tier and nothing is paywalled.
100% Open Source
The Grid app is fully open source. Read the code or fork it on GitHub.
