Privacy-respecting Microsoft Family alternative
Hello, we would like to find out where our cousin, who recently started secondary school, is located. Additionally, we wish to set hourly restrictions on the apps they can access. Privacy is a concern when it comes to technologies created by large tech companies. Do you have any recommendations for Microsoft Family alternatives that prioritize maintaining privacy? Thank you.

Signal messenger offers an ability to share location in real time. https://www.gearrice.com/update/how-to-share-your-location-in-real-time-by-signal-send-to-your-contacts/
There is also TICE.
If you prefer to have control instead of sharing the location, built-in parental controls on Android or iOS should cover most use cases.
That’s more point in time location sharing rather than real time.
I see “real time” I think it updates where I am on a map for as long as I’ve specified, similar to what WhatsApp and telegram do.
It’s a feature I’d really like in signal, though.
I think this feature is not available in Signal's iOS app, I didn't see it when I looked
TICE is exactly what I needed, thank you! It seems to make sense to use NextDNS for application restriction solution
NextDNS is great.
