What is Paralino?
Paralino is a location sharing app for iOS and Android built around privacy. Users share real-time location with chosen people for a set duration, set place alerts, and connect multiple devices to one account, with data handled under EU privacy rules from Austria. It is positioned for families, travelers, and privacy-conscious users who do not want their location feeding ad networks.

Why Paralino works
Most family location sharing happens through free apps that exist to harvest data. Paralino limits sharing to specific people on user-controlled durations, with no ads and EU privacy rules behind the storage, which is the only honest answer for people who want the convenience without the surveillance trade. The mechanism is short-duration, scoped sharing instead of always-on broadcast.
Paralino features
- Time-bounded location sharing. Share location with chosen people for a defined duration so the share does not turn into permanent tracking by accident.
- Place alerts. Notifications fire when a tracked person arrives at or leaves a specific place so the user does not need to keep checking.
- Device status visibility. See battery level and other device status so the user knows whether a missing location is a connection issue or something more.
- Multi-device per account. Connect multiple devices to one account so a single user covers their own phone and a child's device cleanly.
- EU-based privacy posture. The product description points to strict EU privacy rules and an Austria-based provider, with no ads.
