Open source alternatives to Life360? (pawb.social)

I know it's unlikely to exist, but I'd be really grateful if it's out there. My partners use Life360 for the location tracking, just so they know the other is okay. I'd like to join in on this too, but no way am I installing a closed source GPS if I can help it. They're pretty knowledgeable about the risks of doing so, and are open to using an alternative service. Heck, I was the guy who got one of them in on Linux after ditching his Chromebook. lmao

For the record, they have all the data collection settings disabled, but how much is that worth, really? You'd have to trust the company's word and even still, closed source GPS shit. Ew.

Any suggestions are appreciated!
