Three phones running LOOP: a location request, the answer on the map, and the privacy log

Four promises

  • No sign-up

    Just a private LOOP ID. No phone number, no email, no password.

  • Nothing in the background

    LOOP wakes only when someone asks, takes one reading and stops.

  • End-to-end encrypted

    Your location is sealed for the person who asked. Even our server can't read it.

  • You see every look

    Every share leaves a receipt, and your privacy log shows each one.

Why LOOP exists

Every family and friend group has the same conversation: "Where are you?" … and then the wait. The apps that answer it usually do it by tracking you all day, on servers that keep your history. LOOP takes the opposite approach. It's a location tracker you're in charge of: nothing runs in the background, the people you choose can ask, and your phone answers only if you say yes, with your location sealed so that only they can read it. I built it for Indian families and friends first: it's small enough for budget phones, works in Hindi and English, and draws India's borders as per India's official map.

— Arpan Patra, Indore

A chat asking 'Where are you?' waits unanswered; below, LOOP shows Maa's location shared just now, ±5 m, 64% battery

How it works

  1. Share your link

    One tap on WhatsApp connects you.

  2. They ask

    You get a small card: Share once, Always, or Not now.

  3. You both see it

    Location, how accurate it is, and battery.

Private by design

Your location leaves your phone sealed for the one person who asked. LOOP's server passes it on without being able to read it, and keeps no copy. There's no account to hack, no location history to leak, and nothing to sell.

Privacy policy
Maa's phone seals her location; the LOOP server passes it on but can't read it; only Arpan's phone can open it

FAQ

Is LOOP a location tracker?

Yes, one that you control. It never tracks you in the background: it reads your location only when someone you approved asks, and you see a receipt every time.

Do I need an account?

No. LOOP gives you a random ID. There's no phone number, email or password.

Can someone see me without me knowing?

No. Every request needs your yes, unless you chose "Always" for that person, and you get a receipt each time either way.

Does it drain my battery?

No. Nothing runs in the background. One reading is taken only when someone asks.

What if I change phones?

Make a backup in Settings and restore it on the new phone. Your ID and people come with you.

Is it free?

Yes. No ads, and your data is never sold.

Which languages?

English and Hindi.

Who can use it?

People aged 18 and over.

How do I delete my data?
