Open the app, start a session, share one link.
Kincab strips live location sharing down to the obvious flow: create, send, watch, end.
Live location sharing
Share your live location with one clean link.
Kincab is for the in-between moments: getting picked up, finding each other after a show, meeting outside a crowded terminal, or timing the last block before arrival.
Built for iPhone sessions
Best for pickups, meetups, arrivals
Promise start fast, end fast
Most location sharing tools feel built for permanent surveillance. Kincab is built for short-lived coordination.
The pitch
Minimal product, clear use case, zero filler.
Kincab is intentionally narrow: temporary live location sessions that are quick to start, easy to view, and easy to stop.
A map-first viewer that keeps the important thing front and center.
No account ceremony, no crowded chrome, no guessing whether the other person is still moving.
Session keys stay in the shared link fragment, not in the route itself.
The server handles the session, while the viewer key rides with the URL fragment for a tighter privacy story.
End the session the second the handoff is done.
Hosting stays temporary on purpose. Start it when needed, shut it down when the moment passes.
How it works
Three actions. That is the product.
Host a session
Tap Start Session and Kincab creates a short-lived location stream for that specific moment.
Send the link
Share the session URL with the person who needs to see you, without making them jump through setup.
Arrive and end it
Once they find you, stop the session and the live view closes out cleanly.
Security direction
Strong trust signals without turning the product into a fortress brochure.
Kincab already leans on Apple App Attest for authenticated app requests and uses a separate session key in the shared URL fragment for viewer access. That is the right level of seriousness for real-world coordination.
App integrity App Attest-backed session bootstrap
Requests originate from the iOS app instead of an anonymous open client.
Viewer access Key material lives in the fragment
The session key travels with the shared link fragment, not the server path.
Time-boxed Temporary sessions by default
The product is designed around brief live sharing, not background tracking.
