Name it, pick an icon. A Circle is everyone who can see each other on one map: family, a riding group, friends.

Share one link or QR
Send it on WhatsApp or show the QR. Nobody joins without it, and teens join only through an invite a parent confirms.
3
Everyone is on the map
See who is where, their battery, and when someone arrives. Turn sharing off any time.
Route history
See the whole day, stop by stop.
Every route and every stop on a map with real street names, with the distance and top speed for the day. Free keeps 14 days of history. Traxl Plus keeps a full year.
One-tap SOS
One tap alerts your whole family.
Your live location reaches everyone in your Circles at once, after a short countdown you can cancel. While you drive, a sudden stop with an impact can alert them too if you do not answer an “Are you OK?” check.
SOS and crash detection alert your Circle, not emergency services.
Driving reports
Distance, speed and every stop.
A report for anyone in your Circle: total distance, top speed, halts and the hours they are usually on the move. Traxl does not give drivers a score or log phone use.
Your location is for your Circle. Nobody else.
Built to be used with consent: everyone in a Circle knows who can see them, and sharing is always their choice.
Shared only with members of a Circle you joined. Never public, never sold.
Teens (13 to 17) join only through an invite a parent or guardian confirms.
Android always shows a notification while location is shared in the background.
Export or delete all your data from Settings, any time.

Is Traxl available on iPhone?
Coming soon. Traxl is on Google Play for Android now, and the iPhone app is coming soon.
Who can use Traxl?
Anyone 13 or older. Adults (18+) create Circles. Teenagers can join a Circle only through an invite their parent or guardian confirms, and children under 13 can't use Traxl. Live links and group trips are for adults only.
Can I track a group ride or road trip?
Yes. Create a trip, add your stops, share one QR, and verify each rider who joins. While the trip is live everyone is on one map, you're told as riders reach each stop, and everyone is told when the whole group has arrived. You can start with just yourself, edit the route any time, and name a co-organizer who can step in if your phone dies. If a rider's phone dies you can see why and mark them as arrived. Free accounts can create 2 trips a month for up to 3 riders; Traxl Plus is unlimited for up to 50. Joining a trip is always free. Every finished trip keeps a report.
Can I share my location with someone who doesn't have Traxl?
Yes. Create a live link for 15 minutes to 8 hours and send it on WhatsApp, SMS or anything else. They open it in a browser and see your live position on a map, with no app and no account, until the link runs out or you stop it.
Does Traxl have crash detection?
Yes. While you're driving, Traxl looks for a sudden stop together with an impact spike from the phone's accelerometer (ordinary hard braking doesn't count), asks "Are you OK?", and if you don't answer, alerts your Circle with the location. It alerts your family, not emergency services.
How does the SOS work?
One tap sends a high-priority alert with your live location to everyone in your Circle. You can start it from the app, a home-screen widget, a launcher shortcut, a Quick Settings tile, or by shaking the phone three times if you turn that on. There is always a short countdown you can cancel. SOS needs a data connection and alerts your Circle, not emergency services.
What if someone's location stops updating?
Traxl asks their phone how it is and shows the likely reason next to their name: location permission off, location switched off, battery saver, a battery that was nearly empty (the phone has probably died), or a phone that is off or offline. You can ask them to check in with one tap, or make their phone ring.
Does Traxl show speed and driving reports?
Reports show distance, top speed, halts and time on the move for any member, with day-by-day routes, and count hard braking and rapid acceleration as estimates from changes in speed. Traxl does not give drivers a score or log phone use while driving.
How is Traxl different from Life360?
Both share live location with a family group, with place alerts, SOS and crash detection. Traxl is built for Indian phones and data networks, records routes with mobile data off, is priced in rupees (₹100 a month or ₹999 a year), keeps 365 days of history on Plus, adds group trips and live links, and has a consent-first design for teens. Life360 offers extras Traxl doesn't, such as roadside assistance, and an iPhone app today; check its current listing. See the full comparison on the blog.
Does it work in the background?
Yes. Turn on background sharing once and your Circle keeps seeing you even when the app is closed. You can switch it off any time from Settings.
Does location sharing drain the battery?
Traxl sends a position every few seconds while you move and settles to a steady anchor when you're still, so a phone sitting at home barely pings at all.
Who can see my location?
Only members of a Circle you've joined, and people you give a live link to while it's active, or your group while a trip you joined is live. Never anyone else, and never publicly. Leave a Circle and sharing with it stops immediately.
Does it work without internet?
Your route keeps recording on the phone with mobile data off and uploads when a connection returns, with the original times. Your Circle sees your last position until then; SOS needs a connection.
Which countries is Traxl available in?
Most of the world through Google Play, including India, the US, Canada, Australia, the Gulf, Southeast Asia and Latin America. Not yet in the EU, UK, Switzerland, South Korea, Türkiye, Thailand, Russia, Vietnam or Kenya.
