Arrival alerts

# Know they made it — without asking

Get a gentle notification when your child arrives at school, your partner leaves work or a parent gets home. Place alerts with automatic home and work suggestions.

[Get lifetime access](https://ailocator.app/start)

Arrival alerts turn the map into messages that come to you. Add the places your family goes most, and AI Family Locator lets you know when someone arrives or leaves.

## Perfect for

-   **School runs** — know your child arrived at 8:02, and when they left.
-   **Commutes** — see when your partner leaves the office.
-   **Visits** — know a parent got home after an outing.

## How it works

Each place has a boundary around it. When a phone enters or leaves that area, everyone who follows that place gets a notification. Read the full explainer: [arrival alerts for families](https://ailocator.app/guides/arrival-alerts-for-family).

## Smart suggestions

The app can suggest home and work automatically from regular patterns. You review and confirm them, so nothing is saved without you.

## Battery-friendly

Phones watch place boundaries efficiently in the background, so alerts cost far less battery than refreshing a map.
