When would I use the Glympse app?

People use Glympse instead of calling or texting someone to say, “Where are you?” “When will you be home?“ “I’m running 15 minutes late for the meeting.” “Let me know when you get close, and I’ll meet you outside.” and so much more. 

Glympse visually answers “Where are you?” with a dynamic map that updates your location in real-time. With Glympse, you no longer need to call or text to communicate your whereabouts – the people you send a Glympse to will know exactly where you are for as long as you want them to. There are many everyday uses for Glympse: 

  1. On a run or ride to let loved ones know that you are safe
  2. During a pub crawl or at a festival so others can find you
  3. On the way home from work to let a friend/partner know when you will be home
  4. On the way to a business meeting as a courtesy to your client
  5. While visiting an amusement park or large venue so family members can meet up later in the day
  6. For businesses making home deliveries so customers know exactly when you will arrive
  7. When operating a food truck or mobile food stand so customers can find your business
  8. On a first date and feeling anxious, so want your friends or roommates to know your whereabouts when you are gone.

With Glympse, you control who you share your location with, and for how long (up to 12 hours), so there is no risk of being permanently tracked. Location-sharing automatically expires once you arrive, and you can turn off location-sharing with others at any time. After you arrive at a destination and your “Glympse” has expired, all data is permanently deleted 48 hours later. Even better, we do not harvest or sell your location data.
