Stay close, even from miles away
As a pilot, I’m often away from home, and I wanted to create a way for my kids to always know my direction and distance from home. That’s how the Dad Finder app was born — a simple solution to keep us connected, no matter the miles between us.
The Home Base Unit
Dad Finder computes the direction and distance you are from home and keeps the child unit updated. It can be a phone, an iPad or the coolest of them all, the Child Unit. A vintage wooden device that turns the arrow and updates your distance automatically. You only need a WiFi connection to get it working.
Available in the App Store now
Frequently Asked Questions
How does it work?
Download the ‘Dad Finder’ App on your phone. Use it in ‘Dad’ mode (default). Use another phone in ‘Child’ mode (or the ‘Home Base’ unit) to keep track of Dad’s direction and distance. You can use as many child/home devices as you want for a single Dad phone.
What about my privacy?
The app is focused on you and your data privacy. No coordinates are stored either in-phone or in our servers. Only numeric heading and distance values are computed and synchronized between devices.
Is it just for dads?
You can fully customize the App, changing the ‘Dad’ concept to ‘Mom’ or anything else you may want. You can switch between miles and Km.
Can it work between iOs and Android?
Yes, dad and child devices don’t have to be on the same App store to work together.
