Family safety without selling your family out.

Most family safety apps need their servers to track your family. BRYKK doesn't. Real-time location sharing, crash detection, SOS alerts, and 18-language offline translation —built on Apple's iCloud. Zero BRYKK servers. Zero data sales. Zero tracking SDKs. Crash detection is free, not paywalled. 31 battery optimizations for 3-8% daily drain. Available on iPhone and iPad with more devices coming soon. Bootstrapped by a firefighter who believes your family's location is nobody else's business.
Hey Product Hunt! I'm Nathan — firefighter, father of a newborn, and the solo builder behind BRYKK.
I built this entire app in two weeks between 24-hour fire shifts, a full-time job, and midnight feedings. How? I leaned hard into AI-assisted development. No team. No funding.
Just me, Claude, and a problem I couldn't ignore.
Most family safety apps require their own servers — which means someone else always has access to your family's location. BRYKK runs entirely on Apple's iCloud. I literally can't see your data even if I wanted to.
Crash detection and SOS are free. Not locked behind a $25/mo paywall. Because if your kid is in a car accident, that shouldn't be a premium feature.
BRYKK is currently in TestFlight beta and I'm looking for families to help shape it before the full App Store launch. Your feedback directly influences what ships.
This is 100% bootstrapped. No investors. No VC money. Core safety features are free forever — that's a promise. If you want to go further, founding memberships help fund the mission and unlock premium features like offline translation, trip history, and live lock screen updates. Every dollar goes straight back into development.
Happy to answer anything — would love to hear how your family would use it.
