Closer
Are you OK? Without GPS tracking.
Private family safety check-ins and reminders, with no location sharing and no maps.
Closer is a private family safety and check-in app that helps you stay connected without sharing anyone’s location.
Send a quick check-in to a child, parent, partner, friend or other trusted person. They confirm they are OK by tapping your shared number. If they do not respond in time or enter the wrong number repeatedly, Closer alerts you so you can call or text them.
Simple safety check-ins
- Send a check-in whenever you want reassurance
- Receive an immediate notification
- Confirm using a private shared number
- Get alerted when someone does not respond
- Call or text directly from the alert
- See multiple active alerts at the same time
Scheduled check-ins
Create automatic check-ins for the times that matter. Choose a date, time window and how often check-ins should be sent.
Use separate labeled schedules for different routines, such as school, work, travel, medication, a night out, or weekly activities. Schedules can run once or repeat daily, weekly or monthly.
Private by design
Closer is not a family locator and does not track GPS coordinates.
- No live location sharing
- No background location tracking
- No maps or movement history
- No email required to get started
- Google sign-in is available to secure and recover your account
