Private location sharing

Be safe without sacrificing privacy.

safeBubble shares live location, places, SOS alerts, and messages only with the people you invite into your Bubble. Messages end-to-end encrypted. Data never sold, never mined.

Everything a family safety app should do.

Built from the ground up for the people you trust most — with the safety features you expect and the privacy you deserve.

Live location, easy on battery

Motion sensors gate the GPS so it sleeps when you do. Adaptive updates — every few seconds while driving, barely at all while you're on the couch.

SOS in one press

A dedicated SOS button alerts everyone in your Bubble with your live location. SOS events are never auto-deleted — on any plan.

Crash & drive detection

Detects when a drive starts, watches for crashes, and alerts your Bubble automatically. Crash trips are never auto-deleted.

Places & geofences

Save the places that matter — home, school, work — and get a quiet notification when someone arrives or leaves.

Truly private messaging

Direct messages use Signal-style end-to-end encryption — X3DH key exchange and Double Ratchet. Not even we can read them.

Trips, driving score & flights

Replay trips, see a smooth-driving score, and — on Platinum — even detect flights, so the Bubble knows you've landed safely.

Our promise

Privacy isn't a premium feature.

Location apps usually pay for themselves with your data. safeBubble doesn't. Your subscription is the business model — so your location history never becomes someone else's product.

Your data is never sold. No brokers, no advertisers, no exceptions.
Only your Bubble sees you. Location is shared with invited members — no one else.
Messages we can't read. End-to-end encryption with the Signal protocol pattern.
No ads or ad-tech. No advertising SDKs, no marketing trackers, no analytics — just crash reporting so we can fix bugs.
Hosted in the EU. Our servers run in Germany, and every connection is TLS-encrypted end to end.

Up and running in minutes.

Crash trips and SOS events are never auto-deleted — on any plan. The free tier never expires, so there's no forced payment: upgrade only if you want more room. Paid plans are sold through Google Play, which shows the price in your own currency — including GST or VAT where your country requires it. There is no free trial — the free tier is the trial, and it never expires. Cancel any time and you keep your plan until the end of the period you've paid for.

Questions, answered.

Does safeBubble sell my data?

No — never. There are no data brokers, no advertisers, and no ad, marketing, or analytics SDKs in the app. Subscriptions are the entire business model, which means you are the customer, not the product. safeBubble does rely on a small number of third parties to function: Google Firebase Cloud Messaging to deliver push notifications, OpenFreeMap for map tiles, Sentry for crash reports (release builds only), and Google Play to take payments. Google is the seller for subscriptions and handles the payment entirely — we never see or store your card details, and no payment processor ever receives your location history. None of them are advertising services.

Who can see my location?

Only the people in Bubbles you've joined — and every Bubble is invitation-only. There is no public discovery, no "nearby users," and no way for strangers to find you.

Are messages really end-to-end encrypted?

Yes. Direct messages use the Signal protocol pattern — X3DH key exchange plus the Double Ratchet — with keys generated and stored on your device. Ciphertext is all the server ever sees.

Do I need to pay to get started?

No. Creating an account puts you on the free tier, which never expires and never asks for a card. If you later decide you want more room, Premium and Platinum are billed through your Google Play account. There is no free trial to forget to cancel — the free tier is the trial, and it lasts forever. There is no forced payment at any point.

Will it drain my battery?

Battery care is designed in, not bolted on. Motion sensors keep the GPS off while you're stationary, updates adapt to how you're moving, and location points are batched to wake the radio as rarely as possible.

Which platforms are supported?

safeBubble is built for Android 8.0 and newer. It is not on the Play Store yet — the listing is on its way. An iOS app is planned but not yet available.

About safeBubble

Built because safety and privacy shouldn't be a trade-off.

safeBubble is an independent product with a single mission: let the people you trust keep each other safe, without handing your location history to advertisers or data brokers. No investors pushing for data monetization, no ad tech — just a subscription that pays for the servers and the work. We treat every design decision as a privacy decision, and we'd rather tell you plainly what we do and don't do than dress it up.
