HereRanger 2 – Secure on-demand location sharing without logins

Summary: HereRanger 2 enables families and groups to share their current location securely on demand using a 6-digit handshake and deep-link verification. Built with SwiftUI and CloudKit, it stores data privately in iCloud and offers a kill-switch to instantly erase all location data and connections.

What it does

The app lets users send their location with a short message only when they tap "Send," avoiding continuous tracking. It uses a no-login system via iCloud and a secure handshake to coordinate location sharing within squads.

Who it's for

It is designed for families and friend groups seeking private, on-demand location coordination without constant background tracking.

Why it matters

HereRanger 2 prevents continuous location surveillance and data retention by enabling controlled, temporary sharing and immediate data deletion.
