Child-safety proximity tracking

Know they're close.
Without the false alarms.

SafeBubble draws a safe circle around you and watches your child's GPS in real time. The moment they genuinely drift out of range, a critical alarm sounds and turn-by-turn navigation guides you straight to them.

How it works

Three steps to peace of mind

Set it once. SafeBubble does the watching so you don't have to.

1

Draw your safe circle

Pick a radius around yourself — the playground, the shop, the school run. The circle moves with you, so "close" always means close to you, not a fixed spot on a map.

2

Add your child's tracker

Pair a GPS tracker by the ID on the back, or turn a spare iPhone into a tracker with a single share link. Add as many children as you like — they all share one circle.

3

Relax — we'll tell you

Watch everyone live on the map. If a child truly leaves the circle, a loud critical alert breaks through silent mode and navigation points you to them.

The intelligent alert engine

Most trackers cry wolf.
SafeBubble thinks first.

Step indoors and GPS goes haywire — your child's dot can teleport across the street and snap back a second later. Ordinary apps blast a siren on that single bad reading. SafeBubble doesn't.

Our decision engine separates two questions that other apps blur together: how bad is this, and do we even believe it? It weighs the GPS fix validity, satellite count, plausible speed, jitter and whether you and your child are simply moving together — then decides.

Watch is the quiet middle ground — a breach we can see but don't fully trust. You get an amber pin and a "needs a look" card, but no siren. A genuine, sustained walk-away goes straight to a full alarm. An SOS is never silenced.

Honest uncertainty

When signal is weak we draw a halo of "could be anywhere in here" instead of pretending to a precision GPS can't deliver.

Our story

Built by parents — so a few seconds of distraction never become panic.

SafeBubble was created by two parents who know that knot in the pit of your stomach all too well.

I'm Alexandra, mum to Ava — a curious, spontaneous six-year-old who loves to discover the world around her… sometimes a little too fast for her mum.

The idea for SafeBubble was born from a moment I'll never forget. On a family holiday at an all-inclusive hotel in Crete, I stopped for a few seconds to tie my shoelaces. When I stood up, Ava was gone.

I looked left, right, then further away. Nothing. I called her name — no answer. In seconds I felt that knot in the stomach every parent knows. I started running, asking other holidaymakers, then the hotel staff: "Have you seen a little blonde girl in a pink swimsuit?"

In that instant, time seems to stop. You imagine the worst — when, most of the time, your child is simply a few metres away.

A few minutes later, Ava reappeared. She'd simply gone to the toilet on her own. It ended well — but the experience marked me deeply.

Back home, I went looking for a solution. I found plenty of GPS trackers and locator apps, but they all shared the same flaw: they help you find a child after they've disappeared. None of them tried to warn parents before a situation became worrying.

I wanted a prevention tool. Something that would tell me immediately: "Ava is moving away." I wanted to set my own vigilance distance for each situation — 20 m at a festival, 50 m on a beach, 100 m at a theme park — and be alerted the moment she crossed it.

But I'm not a developer — honestly, I barely master every feature on my own phone. So I thought of Tom: an old friend, English, settled in Switzerland, dad of two and a true tech enthusiast. I told him what had happened in Crete. A few minutes of conversation were enough — this shouldn't be just another GPS tracker; it had to be a prevention solution.

Each of us found our role. I brought the lived experience and all the features I'd have loved to have the day Ava wandered off. Tom turned every idea into simple, reliable, intuitive technology. Together, we imagined SafeBubble.

Along the way we added what we'd have wanted from day one: navigation to reach your child quickly, a Panic Button they can press if they feel lost or in danger, and — above all — a Vigilance Mode. Because parents don't need to be alerted all the time. At home I leave it off; before stepping into an airport, a theme park, a festival or a crowded beach, I simply switch it on.

Today, SafeBubble is far more than an app. It's a solution imagined by two parents — my eyes as a mum who lived that fear, and Tom's technology to answer it. Our ambition is simple: to let parents fully enjoy their family outings, with peace of mind restored.
