YouAt - Family Safety and Location on your terms.
Hello Product Hunt family.
Product Hunt family š
I'm Jaye Hembree, creator of YouAt ā a privacy-first family
location-sharing app I like to call a "better, friendlier,
affordable alternative to Life360."
The seed was planted 20+ years ago when BlackBerry was still
king and I was driving thru a huge shopping complex mumbling to myself:
"my wife will NEVER find this car ā someone needs to build "Where did I park?' with a compass and distance." Fast forward
to today. I'm a semi-retired CNC programmer who saw an ad for Emergent (vibe-coding platform), figured I'd try it. About three hours later, by v1.3.0, the Park feature was alive ā Google Map overlay, GPS compass, distance-to-car. It worked.
Then the Emergent agent asked: "want to add Life360-style
features?" I'd never heard of or used Life360. So I asked: "what's wrong
with Life360, can it be made better?" That opened a can of worms. 190 builds and
350 hours later, YouAt is here. One Pixel phone, one laptop, one wife who's non-tech QC was perfect for ease of use and layout design. And my(not sure it's an asset) CNC brain that refuses to turn it loose until it works.
What makes YouAt different:
⢠No ads, no data resale ā we never see your location data- History settings 0 days,7days or 30 days.
Walk-to-car compass (the original dream, still my favorite)
YouAt Trail - trace/ return trail feature with SOS timer.
Safe Zones with gentle arrive/leave alerts
Ghost Mode ā pause sharing anytime, no explanation needed
Crash detection
1/3 the price of Life360 with more features, less "spy in the sky" and way less battery usage.
We're on day 3 of Google Play Closed Testing and launching on Indiegogo next week.
Website: YouAt
Waitlist is open ā happy to send a tester invite to any one interested.
Would love any feedback from this community ā brutal,
tender, or anywhere in between.
I'm a newbie at all this and loving it
Thanks
Jaye Hembree
