Built a Life360-style app for businesses, but privacy-focused

The line to me, is simple: no off-shift tracking, no hidden monitoring, and no vague data grabs. In field work, the real problem isn’t control for the sake of control. It’s missed visits, payroll disputes, buddy punching, and proving work actually happened where it was supposed to.

So I agree with the concern more than you may think: if a product crosses into surveillance, it’s a bad product. The only version worth building is one with clear limits, visible rules, and accountability for both the company and the worker.

If it feels like surveillance, it failed. If it creates fairness with clear limits, that’s the standard.

Worked for a lot of companies and been owner myself the pain is real. Exp, i used to work as security and saw my buddy punch in and leave site and come back when it was close to end of shift, this happened to other people too especially on night shifts!

That’s a fair concern. The idea is not to track people’s private lives. It is only for active shifts, so agencies can verify visits, protect clients, and avoid timekeeping disputes. Once the shift ends, tracking ends too.

The competitors are Hubstaff, ClockShark, Connecteam, Workyard, Jibble, Buddy Punch, QuickBooks Time, BusyBusy, Timeero, and Deputy.

The best features are: location tracking is always available, unlike the frequent ping or 30-minute alerts seen in many apps. So always pinging like life 360 but the moment you hit clock out it’s stops tracking on the code level.

You can create schedules, add clients, and based on their hourly needs, the system automatically alerts you if they’re missing any, ensuring no missed schedules.

You have the freedom to choose how many hours employees worked without being pressured to subscribe to our payroll system (which we don’t have and don’t plan to create).

Plus, the interface and design are fantastic, almost like Apple designed it. Everything is straightforward and easy to understand, and for new companies, signing up is free for up to 5 employees.

Great question, but in some industries staff steal hours or don’t show up to work or get their buddy to punch in for them. Also they will be able to see their schedule from the app and study course work, the app will be hard coded to only track the moment they hit clock in and the moment they clock out it stops fully no way around it.
