Paralino

Paralino is a private location sharing application designed for families and friends to stay connected while maintaining complete privacy. The app provides real-time location tracking on a live map, automatic place alerts when members arrive or leave designated locations, and detailed location history to retrace past trips. Users maintain full control over what information is shared, for how long, and with whom.

The core feature is end-to-end encryption: all location data is encrypted on the device before it leaves the phone, and only selected contacts hold the decryption keys. This means Paralino itself cannot access, decrypt, or view any user location data. The service operates without ads, without collecting usage data, and without selling personal information to third parties.

Paralino offers flexible group management with separate groups for family, friends, or travel, supports multiple devices per account, and includes privacy zones that automatically share only approximate location in sensitive areas. The company is based in Austria, operates servers within the EU, and provides open-source apps for both iOS and Android.
