Know where they are.
Guide how they spend.
iKnowMom brings family location, driving safety and spending guidance together, built on your teen's consent so everyone knows what is shared.
14-day free trial of every feature. No credit card needed.
Everything in one place
One app instead of three
Most families juggle a location app, a driving app and a money app. iKnowMom is one calm place for all of it.
Family location
See where everyone is, right now, without a stream of check-in texts.
- Live map with battery levels and photos
- Saved places with arrival and departure alerts
- "Be home by" reminders, low-battery and phone-gone-quiet alerts
- A family timeline, and a "Come get me" button for teens
- History is deleted automatically after 7 days
Driving safety
Coaching for new drivers, with no extra device or dongle.
- Drives detected automatically from the phone
- Route, distance, top speed and a 0 to 100 score
- Hard braking, speeding and late-night alerts
- Safe-driving challenges that earn a reward
Spending guidance
Understand where your teen's money goes and talk about it early.
- Real-time alerts, including Cash App, Venmo and Zelle
- Subscriptions found automatically, with a renewals calendar
- "Looks good" or "Let's talk", with conversation starters
- Smart limits, a Sunday recap and Ask iKnowMom
Rewards that teach
Make good habits worth it, with real rewards instead of lectures.
- Set a goal, like cutting back on takeout
- Teens earn real gift cards when they hit it
- Fund one family wallet, reward any time
Two parents, one view
Invite a partner or co-parent. You both see the same teens, locations and purchases, and one plan covers you both.
Older relatives, by choice
A parent or grandparent shares what they choose. You hear if a day looks different, and, if they connect a bank, about possible scams.
Know when money moves
Alerts when a purchase or transfer lands, including Cash App, Venmo and Zelle.
Spot subscriptions
Recurring charges are found from bank data, with the monthly cost of each.
Start the conversation
"Let's talk" comes with three friendly openers and a 60-second money lesson.
Ask iKnowMom
Ask "How did Alex do this month?" and get an answer with the numbers behind it.
Trust, built in
Built on consent, not surveillance
People keep sharing when they understand it and have a say. So everything about iKnowMom is visible to both sides.
Scores and alerts use phone GPS and are for coaching, not proof. Read our Privacy Policy
Everyone stays in the loop
Sharing starts only when your teen, or an older relative, turns it on. Their phone shows a location indicator while it is running.
Pause or stop any time
Teens and relatives control sharing from their own app. Family is told when it is paused or stopped, so nothing happens in secret.
Short memory
Location history is deleted after 7 days and drive history after 90. Delete your account and it all goes.
Your data is not for sale
We do not sell your data and do not use financial data for advertising. Bank access is read-only through Plaid.
How it works
Up and running in minutes
Start with location for free, and add spending guidance when you are ready.
Create your family
Sign up free in a minute, add your teens by name or invite them with a code, and invite a second parent if you share the load.
Teens turn on sharing
Your teen gets the request in their app and decides. They can pause or stop whenever they like.
Connect a bank, if you want
Link a teen's account through Plaid to add alerts, subscriptions, goals and approvals.
Guide and reward
Follow drives and spending, set goals together, and reward progress with gift cards.
