Even we can't see where you are

Know they got home safe. Nobody else needs to.

Privacy respecting location sharing for families, friends, organisations. Oomoyo seals each location on the phone it comes from, so only the people you share with can open it.

For every group that looks out for each other.

Families, friends, organisations, carers and tinkerers. Each group gets its own map, places and alerts, and you can be in as many groups as you like.

Look around

Meet the Bennetts.

This is Oomoyo in a browser, with the Bennetts in Vienna. Open someone, step through their day, look at their places. Changes are turned off.

Everyone here is made up. Nothing you do is saved or sent.

How it works

Sealed on their phone. Opened only by friends or family.

Every location is locked on the phone it comes from, with keys only the phones in your group hold. Our servers carry sealed locations they cannot open.

On the phoneMLS
Step 1

Sealed where it starts

Emma's phone locks each location with keys only the phones in your group hold. It uses MLS, the open standard for encrypted group messaging.

Step 2

Carried, not read

Our servers in the EU pass it on and see only fog. Everything is padded to the same size, so even its length gives nothing away.

Step 3

Opened by your group

Only phones in your group can open it. A new phone gets its own keys when someone in the group adds it.

The difference

If an app can read your locations, so can everyone it answers to.

Staff, partners, hackers, and whoever sends the company a letter. Oomoyo is built so there's nothing readable to give them.

Devices

Not everyone has a phone. That's fine.

Some kids are too young, some grandparents won't carry one. Oomoyo works with more than phones, and tells you exactly how protected each device is.

At the Bennett house: Emma and Dan on their phones, and a screen by the front door that shows who's home.

Honestly

Oomoyo might not be right for you if…

We'd rather tell you now than after you've set it up.

  • ✕

    You want to follow someone who hasn't agreed.Everyone in an Oomoyo group can see who sees them. There is no hidden mode, and we won't build one. Oomoyo is sharing that each person chose.

  • ✕

    You want to track staff or a fleet.Oomoyo is made for families and friends who choose to share with each other, not for keeping an eye on employees.

  • ✕

    You want us to rescue your history if every phone in the group is lost.We can't. If one family phone still holds the keys, it can hand your history to your new phone. If every phone is lost, nobody can open it, including us.

  • ✕

    You want a 24/7 emergency centre.Oomoyo alerts your group, not the emergency services, and nobody watches the alerts around the clock. In an emergency, call 112 first, then press SOS so your group knows.

Better you hear it from us.

Questions

Questions parents ask us.

Straight answers. If something isn't built yet, we say so.

Can you see where my child is?

No. Locations are sealed on your child's phone with keys only the phones in your group hold. Our servers pass on sealed data and can't open it.

What happens if Oomoyo is hacked?

An attacker would get sealed data nobody can open. We never see what is inside or anyone's IP address. We keep as little as we can for exactly this reason.

What if the police ask for my group's locations?

We can only hand over what we have: sealed data we can't open, and very little else. We'll publish how many requests we get.

Will it drain my phone's battery?

Sharing your location always costs some battery. We're measuring Oomoyo on real phones and will publish the numbers before launch.

What are actions?

Actions are what you choose Oomoyo to tell you about: an SOS, a check-in that did not happen, an arrival or a leave, a low battery, no update from a phone. You pick who is told, and the person an action is about sees it.

Can I set up a group in a browser?

No. Only phones start and manage groups. A browser you link with your phone shows your group's map and history. Letting people in, adding devices and Recovery Kits stay on your phone.

Can my teenager switch it off?

They can leave a group, and the rest of the group sees that they did. Oomoyo is built on trust, not on hiding.

Do I need to give you my email address?

Not to use Oomoyo. The app needs no email address and no phone number: you sign in with an account code. This page asks for your email only to tell you when Oomoyo launches.

Where is my data stored?

On Oomoyo's servers in the EU, sealed so only the devices in your group can read it. Every app connection goes through an independent relay run by Oblivious Network, a US company, so Oomoyo never sees your IP address; the relay sees the address and that Oomoyo is used, never what is inside. The map comes from Cloudflare's network (US) through the same relay, so Cloudflare sees which map tiles load, never who loads them. Apple and Google run the app stores and deliver wake-ups whose content is sealed.

Why a red panda?

Small, shy, and worth protecting.

Pip is a red panda because red pandas need looking after too. So do the open projects Oomoyo stands on.

Endangered

< 10,000

red pandas left in the wild

They live in the mountain forests of the eastern Himalayas and southwest China. Those forests are cleared for firewood, timber and farmland, and poachers and the illegal pet trade take the animals themselves.

of our gross revenue, every year

Revenue, not profit, so it starts with our first euro. It goes to red panda conservation and to the open projects Oomoyo is built on.
