Hi Product Hunt, I'm Damian. Many of us feel less safe walking home, travelling or looking after the people we love, and with crime making headlines in cities around the world, that worry is real.

TIMLAR is my answer. Start a session when you need it, and the people you trust follow along from a secure link. They don't need an app. Your location is shared only during a session you start, only with the people you choose, and it stops when you end the session. It's built for families too, so parents, carers and friends can check in on each other when it matters.

TIMLAR is free, and I want it to stay free for everyone, permanently. We're a small team, so we're looking for partners to help: community groups, universities, employers and safety organisations who want to help shape it and get it to the people who need it.

Android is on Google Play now, and iPhone testing runs through TestFlight. Honest feedback is the most useful thing you can give us.

What would make you feel safer using something like this?
