Drive reports for a new driver, with the driver in the loop

When an adult turns drive monitoring on for a teen, the Chickadee Locate app on the teen's phone notices when a drive starts and ends and sends the hub a report: where it went, how far, how fast, and any hard braking, calls, or phone unlocks along the way.

This app shows the week at a glance and each trip on a map. The driver sees their own drives too, and can mark a ride that wasn't theirs, a carpool or a bus, so it stops counting. A marked trip stays visible to the parent with the reason given.

• Each drive on a map, with distance, time, average and top speed.
• Hard braking, hard acceleration, calls, and phone unlocks, listed for each trip.
• A weekly summary and score per driver.
• An optional speed limit per driver, set by an adult, with time spent over it.
• The driver can mark a trip as not theirs; adults see the mark and the reason.
• Start and end points named from your safe zones.
• Off until an adult turns it on, and the driver's own location choice can turn it off.

Needs the Chickadee Locate companion app on the driver's phone. An adult's own drives are visible only to that adult.

Parents of a newly licensed driver who want a weekly picture rather than a live feed.

Safe Driving is one app in a household library, not a product built around this one job. Some apps do only this and go further. Seven family location and driving apps, by what each one is for sets them side by side, and says when one of them is the better choice.

• From learner's permit to first car: a practice log, then drive reports — Learning to drive and driving alone need different records. A log a parent signs while they learn, then weekly drive reports the teen can see too.

Safe Driving is one of the apps in the Chickadee Bandit library. Every household starts nearly empty and installs only what it uses; there is no per-app charge. Your data lives in your household's own private, encrypted database, with no ads and no data selling. Browse the Family apps or read the source on GitHub.
