Grid

Grid was born out of a frustration about bigger location sharing companies exploiting and selling users' data (precise locations, pattern of life, contacts, you name it) and not being held accountable for it. It's no longer a secret that we're living in a privacy crisis so Grid is our small, first contribution to the fight for our privacy back. Our main issues when it comes to other location sharing apps out there is that most either monetize your location, track your behavior, or lock you into one platform keeping you from sharing with your green or blue bubble friends and family. Some claim not to collect your data but say otherwise in the fine print. Others quietly sell your location to third parties. Even apps that claim to prioritize privacy often aren’t open source and if they are, they’re barely maintained or not very usable.
