The live family map

One glance answers “where is everyone?” — for every member who chooses to share. Location is off by default; each member turns their own sharing on, sees exactly what the family sees, and can pause it anytime.

AN ORDINARY TUESDAY · ALL OF THIS FREE

The whole day, covered.

From “good morning” to “home safe” — one circle, zero chasing.
Most of family care is not an emergency; it’s a hundred small questions across an ordinary day. WellChime Free carries all of them in one place — the check-in, the map, the calendar, the care feed, the ride over — so the family runs on one shared story instead of six group texts. And every bit of it works for every member of the circle: the adult kids share their own check-ins, location, and health too (plenty of the “kids” are seniors themselves), and it’s just as complete for one person looking after their own wellbeing.
ACTUAL WELLCHIME
The family sees what matters now.
Mom and Dad each have their own current story — and so does anyone else in the circle who wants one. Everyone invited shares one place to respond.
BOTH PARENTS
FREE FOR THE FAMILY
FAMILY HOME
8:12 AM
Mom checks in
Her daily check-in, at the time she chose — one tap on her phone, and the whole circle knows the day started well. If it ever goes unanswered, the family gets one clear heads-up.
10:30 AM
The glance
The family map shows everyone who shares, and a severe-weather watch keeps an eye on the sky where each sharing member actually is — a heat advisory becomes a reason to call about the AC.
12:00 PM
“I’ve got it.”
Sunday lunch is on the shared calendar with RSVPs. Dad’s ride Thursday sits on the event as a request — Sarah taps “I’ve got it,” and nobody has to chase or double-book.
3:15 PM
A photo lands
The grandkids at the park drop into the care feed — private to your family, and the number-one reason a parent opens the app smiling.
5:40 PM
“On my way.”
Sarah taps “On my way” before driving over. Everyone gets a heads-up, and anyone who’s wondering watches her dot move on the family map, live. When she walks in, one tap says “I’ve arrived.”
01
THE LIVE MAP · OPT-IN, ALWAYS

Presence, not surveillance

The map shows each sharing member’s current place with battery and freshness on the pin, so what you see is what’s true right now.
Save the places that matter — home, the pharmacy, church, the grandkids’ school. With our Complete pricing plan, the family gets gentle arrive-and-leave alerts for the members who share.
02
TRIP SHARING · ONE TAP

“On my way.”

Tap “On my way” before driving over. Everyone gets a heads-up, anyone who’s wondering watches the dot move live, and one tap says “I’ve arrived” at the door.
03
FREE FOR THE WHOLE CIRCLE

Free for the whole family

The live map, location sharing, and trip sharing are free for both parents and the entire invited circle. Arrive-and-leave place alerts come with the Complete plan.
QUESTIONS FAMILIES ASK

Fair questions, straight answers.

Can my parent control their own location sharing?
Always. Location is off by default — each member turns their own sharing on themselves, sees what the family sees, and can pause it anytime.
Does the family map cost anything?
No. The live map, location sharing, and “On my way” trips are free for the whole family circle. Arrive-and-leave place alerts are part of our Complete pricing plan.
Is location on by default?
No. Location stays off until a member turns their own sharing on. Each member sees exactly what the family sees, and can pause it whenever they like.
What are place alerts?
Save the places that matter — home, the pharmacy, church, the grandkids’ school — and get a gentle heads-up when a sharing member arrives or leaves. You choose the places.
What is an “On my way” trip?
Tap it before heading over and the family gets a heads-up; anyone wondering can watch the dot move live, and one tap says “I’ve arrived” at the door.
Will it drain my parent’s battery?
Each pin shows its battery and freshness, and everyday sharing is built to stay light on battery. The live, moving dot only ramps up while someone is actually watching a trip.
