Locwire -Live Location Sharing

Create a Wire. Invite your people. See everyone on a live map — instantly. Real-time trip tracking + 7-day history. Powered by Apple Maps. Always free.


KNOW WHERE YOUR PEOPLE ARE. ALWAYS.

Locwire is a real-time location sharing app for families, friends, and teams. Create a private group called a Wire, share a unique invite code, and the moment your people join everyone appears as a live, named pin on your shared map.

No more 'where are you?' calls. No more check-in texts. Just open the app and know.

WHAT IS A WIRE?

A Wire is your private location group. You create one, get a unique invite code, and share it with whoever you choose. The moment they join they're on the map.

Use Wires for:

• Families: school runs, commutes, and evening check-ins
• Friends: road trips, group travel, and festivals
• Teams: field staff, deliveries, and site coordination
• Travellers: staying connected when the group splits up

You can join multiple Wires at once. Each Wire is completely separate and private.

CORE FEATURES

LIVE LOCATION FOR EVERY MEMBER Every Wire member appears on a shared live map with their name, current speed, and direction of travel. Updates happen automatically, in real time.

REAL-TIME TRIP TRACKING Watch each person's journey trace itself across the map as they travel. Every turn, every stop, every speed change is plotted live.

7-DAY TRIP HISTORY Every journey is automatically saved. Tap any past trip to replay the full route, review timestamps, check stop durations, and see total distance covered. Trips are stored for 7 days, then deleted automatically for your privacy.

POWERED BY APPLE MAPS Locwire uses Apple Maps for fast, accurate, battery-efficient map rendering.

GPS + GPRS DUAL-MODE LOCATION GPS satellite positioning delivers pinpoint accuracy outdoors. GPRS cell-tower fallback automatically takes over indoors or in buildings where GPS is blocked.

ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE ALERTS Set alerts for home, school, office, or any custom location. Get a push notification the moment a Wire member arrives or leaves.

FULL PRIVACY CONTROLS Pause your location at any time without leaving a Wire. Your position disappears from the map instantly. Resume sharing with a single tap.
