For the whole family2 places free
Made it to school — you already know
Mark Home, School and Work — and YouPoint will tell you when your family arrives or leaves. No more “are you there yet?” calls.
When it helps
Fewer “are you there yet?” calls
Your child walks to school alone
You're at work, yet you know they've arrived — without distracting them with a call.
Mum went to the doctor
You can see when she's back home — no “so, are you home yet?”.
You're waiting at home
Your partner has left work — time to put dinner on.
How it works
You mark the place, the person decides on alerts
- 1
Mark a place on the map
Home, School, Practice — with a circle from 50 metres to 2 kilometres. You can correct the address by hand.
- 2
The person decides whether to announce their arrivals
It's their choice, in “Profile”. Which family members get the alerts is set by the admin.
- 3
Arrived or left — you know
A short notification: who arrived or left. No place names or coordinates in the notification — the details open in the app.
- 4
“Tell me if they don't arrive”
You can ask to be told if the person hasn't arrived by a certain time. We wait a little before writing — people run a bit late.
Honestly about the limits
Good to know
- A rule about someone is never secretThey can see that you set it, and can delete it.
- The person only shares their area?Then alerts say “near School”, and rules about them don't apply — only with a precise location.
- We don't report silenceIf the phone is switched off, we don't send “didn't arrive”. It's the phone that's quiet, not the person.

Questions
About places
Does my child know I get these alerts?
Yes. They can see every rule about them on their own phone — nothing behind anyone's back.
Why did the alert come late?
The phone updates its location sparingly to save battery. Most delays come from the phone's battery settings — see the help page for your phone.
Can I say “I'll let you know” myself?
Yes: “I'll tell you when I arrive” — and your family will know when you get there. It's a rule about yourself, so it works at any accuracy except “Hidden”.
