Draw a boundary around home, school or work and MyParental tells you the moment the device enters or leaves. Location peace of mind for the places that matter, without watching a map all day.
Live location is useful, but nobody has time to sit there refreshing a map to see whether their kid made it to school or their elderly parent got home safe. What you really want is for the phone to tell you when something happens, so you can stop checking and just get on with your day.
That's what geofencing does. You draw a virtual boundary — a circle around the school, the house, the office, anywhere that matters — and MyParental watches it for you. The moment the device crosses that line, in or out, you get an alert. No staring at a screen, no wondering.
For a parent, that usually means a quiet notification that says, in effect, "they're at school" or "they've left home," at exactly the times you'd want to know. For someone caring for a relative, it can be an early warning that a loved one has wandered somewhere unexpected. And for a business running company vehicles, it's confirmation that a device reached the site it was meant to.
It turns location from something you have to actively check into something that reaches out to you only when it's relevant. Most of the day you hear nothing, which is exactly how it should be — and when an alert does arrive, it's about something you genuinely wanted to know.
Pick a spot on the map, set how wide the zone should be, and give it a name. Home, school, Grandma's house, the office — you can set up as many zones as you need.
Each one is watched independently, so you get the right alert for the right place without any mix-ups.
When the device enters or leaves a zone, MyParental sends an alert straight away, tagged with the place, the direction, and the time.
You decide which zones you care about most, so the notifications you get are the ones that actually mean something to you.
Set it once, then let the alerts do the watching.
Draw boundaries around any places that matter.
Know the moment the device reaches a zone.
Know when it leaves, too.
Every alert carries the time it happened.
Set as many zones as you need.
Works alongside live location and route history.
No technical background needed. If you can install a normal app, you can do this.
Choose a plan, create your account, and install the app on the device with our short guide.
In your Control Panel, pick the places that matter and set a boundary around each.
Sit back — MyParental notifies you whenever the device enters or leaves a zone.
Setup takes just a few minutes. Here's the short version — the full walkthrough, with screenshots for both Android and iPhone, lives on our download page.
Authorized use only. MyParental is built for transparent, consent-based monitoring: parents looking after their own children, and employers on company-owned devices where staff have been informed. Install it only on a device you own or are authorized to monitor, and make sure the person using it knows. See our Terms and Privacy Policy for details.
There's a real difference between information you have to go and get and information that comes to you. Live location is the first kind — useful, but only if you remember to look. Geofencing is the second. It's designed around the idea that most of the time you don't want to be watching at all; you just want to be told if something specific happens. That shift, from checking to being alerted, is what makes location tracking something you can actually live with day to day.
Think about a typical school day. You don't need a running map of your child's every step. You need two small reassurances: they got to school this morning, and they left for home this afternoon. Two zones, two alerts, and the entire anxious middle of the day takes care of itself. The same logic covers a parent working late who wants to know the kids are home, or a family keeping a gentle eye on a grandparent who sometimes forgets their way.
A safety feature that buzzes constantly gets muted, and a muted alert is useless. So geofencing is built to be quiet by design — you only hear from it when a boundary you chose is actually crossed. You set which zones matter, and everything else stays silent. The goal is a small number of meaningful notifications, not a stream you learn to ignore.
Geofencing works hand in hand with the GPS location tracker and route history. The alert tells you something happened; the map shows you the detail if you want it. Together they cover both ends of the same need — the quick heads-up and the full context — so you can respond at whatever level a given moment calls for.
Like every MyParental feature, it's meant for transparent use on a device you own or are authorized to manage, such as your child's phone or a company vehicle's handset, with the person aware that location monitoring is in place. Used that way, it's one of the simplest, most reassuring tools we offer: set your zones once, and let the phone do the watching.
Set up MyParental today, draw a boundary around the places that matter, and let the alerts come to you.
