Device Footprints gives you real-time GPS tracking, deep app usage analytics, and powerful reporting for families, groups, field teams, and friends — with the flexibility to track anyone, anywhere, on any schedule.
Whether you're a parent keeping kids safe, a business managing field staff, or a group of friends on holiday — Device Footprints adapts to your needs with extraordinary flexibility.
Know exactly where your children, elderly parents, or spouse are at any moment. Get instant alerts when they arrive home, leave school, or enter an unexpected area. Peace of mind, always.
Manage large groups of flyer distributors, delivery personnel, or sales reps with a full hierarchical structure. See who's active, where they've been, and how long they idle between stops.
Travelling with a group? Share live locations instantly. No more "where are you?" texts. See everyone on one map, replay their routes, and plan the next meetup based on where people actually are.
Coordinate large groups during school trips, sports events, or outdoor activities. Monitor all participants in real time and ensure no one strays from the group.
Track drivers and delivery agents across your fleet. Verify deliveries with GPS timestamps, detect long idle stops, and get a complete route history for every person every day.
Quietly monitor elderly relatives who live independently. Know when they leave home, where they walk daily, and get notified if their phone hasn't moved for an unusual period.
Device Footprints captures precise GPS positions in the background even when the screen is off, the app is closed, and even when there's no internet. Every location is stored locally and synced automatically when connectivity returns.
Tracks continuously using a persistent Android foreground service — not just when the app is open. Captures location every 1–60 minutes based on your settings.
GPS points are stored locally in an on-device SQLite database during outages. All data flushes automatically to the server when connectivity is restored — zero data loss.
Set tracking to run only on specific days of the week, within custom time windows (e.g. 09:00–18:00 Mon–Fri), or 24/7 — per group, per node, or per individual.
Automatically detects when a person has stayed within 50 metres for more than N minutes. Configurable threshold — see idle stops highlighted in orange on the map.
Device Footprints goes beyond GPS. It monitors every app opened and how long it was used — surfacing patterns, distractions, and anomalies that GPS alone can't reveal.
A 7-day bar chart of total daily screen time per person. Instantly see who is heavily engaged with their phone and who is barely using it.
A horizontal timeline showing every app used throughout the day — like a Gantt chart. See exactly when WhatsApp, YouTube, or Maps was active.
Automatically flags unusual patterns: any single app session over 60 minutes, or any app consuming more than 40% of a person's daily screen time.
Drill into daily usage broken down by app. See total time, top app of the day, and a sortable list view alongside the visual timeline.
From a quick glance at who's online right now to a deep-dive into seven days of app behaviour — Device Footprints gives you every data point, beautifully presented.
One map. Every member. A single colour-coded pin per person showing their last known location — green for recent, red for stale. Tap any pin for a detail card.
Animate any person's GPS trail for any day. Watch their movement play out in real time with a timeline scrubber, play/pause controls, and a live marker on the map.
Automatically identify stops where a person remained within 50 metres for longer than your chosen threshold. Highlighted in orange on both the map and the point list.
See which tracked members are missing critical permissions — Location, Battery Optimisation, App Usage Access — at a glance, with a column-based status grid.
A 7-day bar chart of daily screen time with a per-day breakdown showing total hours, top app, and a full sorted app list. Loaded on-demand per member.
No complex ML needed. Device Footprints automatically surfaces unusual app usage patterns based on thresholds — any session over 60 minutes, or any app dominating the day.
No complex configuration. No servers to manage. Just install, invite, and track.
Sign up, enter your phone number, verify with OTP. A group is created for you instantly with your unique 6-character group code.
Share your 8-character join code via WhatsApp, SMS, or any messaging app. Members enter the code and join your group instantly.
Members grant Location (Always), Battery Optimisation, and App Usage Access on their Android device. The app guides them through each step.
Tracking starts immediately in the background. Open the dashboard anytime to see live locations, replay routes, and review app usage analytics.
No other tracking app gives you this much control over when, what, and who is tracked.
Organise your members into a multi-level hierarchy of nodes. A regional manager oversees city teams who oversee individual workers — with settings cascading down automatically.
Set GPS and app usage tracking to run only within a specific time window on specific days. Configure per group node or override for an individual — settings cascade via inheritance.
Each member can be independently configured as Tracked, Reviewer, or Admin. An Admin can manage settings; a Reviewer can only view data; a Tracked user just contributes data.
Override the group's tracking schedule for a specific person. Set a unique GPS frequency, different active days, or tighter time windows — all while the group default stays unchanged.
No phone number? No problem. Create a device account with a 6-character code — ideal for shared tablets, delivery devices, or users without personal SIMs.
Receive real-time notifications when a member joins your group via join code, requests to leave, or when a leave request is approved or denied — all tracked in-app.
Persistent Android foreground service keeps tracking alive even when the phone is locked or the app is killed.
All GPS and app usage data is buffered on-device. Nothing is lost during network outages — everything syncs when you're back online.
Cached data retries upload automatically every 10 minutes. Idempotent inserts via unique indexes prevent any duplicates even on repeated retries.
Already logged in? You stay logged in even without internet. Cached profile data loads from SharedPreferences so tracking never stops.
Device Footprints is transparent about every permission it needs and why. Members explicitly grant each permission, and admins can see the real-time permission status of every tracked member.
Location (Always)Background GPS access — required for continuous tracking even when the screen is off.
Battery Optimisation ExemptPrevents Android from killing the tracking service to save battery.
App Usage AccessRead app open/close events via Android's UsageStatsManager API — used for the timeline and screen time reports.
Admin-visible Health DashboardAdmins see exactly which permissions are granted or missing per member — including a "Revoked" badge if permissions disappear after active use.
