Thyme is a small and minimalistic tool, which sends your current location as SMS. It uses either GPS or just the fast GSM method. It can send your location as coordinates (latitude/longitude) and/or as web-link to a map view of your location. It is Open Source (GPLv3). When you are interested, take a look at the website url (see screenshot). Feedback would be appreciated
I made an app similar to that not so long ago

This is my first android app: Simple Friend Finder.. any comments/suggestions about it?

Finding your friends just got easier!
If you know their phone number, this app will allow you to find their location with the touch of a button for free as long as they have this app!
This is NOT a stalking app!
If you send a request to a friend and they dont have this app, a link will be sent to them via SMS (with your permission)
This app is NOT ONLINE BASED. NONE of your information is ever shared with anybody unless you explicitly share it. Online access is ONLY used to download tiles for the Friends Map and images for Street View.
Works with ALL carriers and ALL android phones!

**More detailed explanation of features**
You can send a location request to someone asking for their location. If they accept your request, then you get access to their location.With that access, you can navigate to them via GPS,look at where they are with STREET VIEW, look at them on the Friend Map or send them an update on your location.
You can add people to your blacklist and block them from ever sending you a location request as well as revoke your location from individuals (in-case you don't want them to have access to your location anymore)
**DISCLAIMER**
The location/ points given to you from this app does not automatically continuously update (It DOES NOT allow you to stalk a person). All locations point to where the person was when they accepted your location request.
**Optimal Usage**
Read the startup screen (It only appears ONCE)
if you are using GoSMS, disable the option "disable other messaging app notifications"
Turn your GPS off if you are indoors, turn it on if you are outdoors for a more accurate location

AllTogether - Brings friends together
All kind of feedback about AllTogether is warmly welcomed. Below you can find more information of AllTogether.
AllTogether is a new mobile application making it easy to meet nearby friends and have fun together. Nowadays many of us "meet" friends only in social networking services, like in Facebook. However, there are multiple places and events, where you would like to meet your friends face to face. Every now and then friend of yours might come to your mind and then you call or send message to him to find out if he is nearby or not.
AllTogether makes it much easier to find and meet your friends face to face. Application shows distance and bearing of your friends in easy to read list and allows instant messaging with them using AllTogether's inbuilt messaging feature. This way AllTogether makes it easy to find nearby friends and have fun with them.
AllTogether is useful application for everybody who wants to meet his friends face to face. Meeting friends is nice for example when you are in cafe, bar, concert, festival, sport event or while shopping. You can ask your friends to join you to have cup of coffee in the cafe while you are shopping. Or you can ask nearby friends to join you in terrace or have fun with you in festivals. You can check who of your friends are in same sport event or concert as you and invite them to join you and have fun together after the event is over.
At the moment AllTogether works in Android devices (Android 4.0 and newer) and it gets list of your friends from Facebook. Application updates your location automatically in the background so you don't have to remember to check-in to places Foursquare's way. Automatic location updates guarantees you will always see list of nearby friends with AllTogether. AllTogether's inbuilt messaging feature makes it easy to send free of charge messages to your nearby friends. It's easy to take AllTogether into use because you don't have to create any new accounts.
More is better in AllTogether. If many friends use AllTogether the longer list of friends will be visible in AllTogether and use can start having fun face to face with more persons.
AllTogether is unique in three ways compared to its competitors:
User doesn't need to remember to check-in to locations Foursquare's (etc.) way. Location will be updated automatically in the background. This guarantees that user's and his friends location data is always up to date, meaning you will see more of your friends in AllTogether.
AllTogether doesn't show locations in map. AllTogether shows only distance and direction of friends. This way user's privacy is taken more into account than in map-based apps.
At the moment we support only Facebook friends but we have plans to support also some other friends (like Google+ friends or friends from Phone's phone book. This way AllTogether will show more friends than some of our competitors, AllTogether will for example outperform Google+'s or Facebook's location services because we will show friends from many different services in the future.
At the moment (2013-09-03) we are implementing new features, which makes it possible to disable location sharing to some persons or completely. Disabling location sharing completely is useful if you don't want to share location sometime for some reason, for example if you are travelling abroad. We are also adding possibility to disable location sharing to selected persons.
AllTogether application, screenshots and video can be found from Google Play (I can't insert link here because new forum users can't post links). Use search query "alltogether makes it easy to find nearby friends" in Google Play and you will find AllTogether immediately.
New AllTogether version released. New in this version:
-User can disable location sharing for example when travelling abroad
-User can remove status bar icon
-Bug corrections and enhancements

App Description
Two modes of use – Panic & Casual Mode
• Tight integration with Google Maps to ensure up to date & accurate maps
• Highly accurate GPS when location services are turned on
• Never compromise on safety - when Panic mode is activated, trusted contacts know your location and can provide immediate help if needed
• Automated alert updates –set your time intervals and the app does the rest
• Location is only shared when YOU want it to be
• Share the world around you in privacy with close friends and family
Panic Mode:
Allows you to automatically alert your list of pre-selected emergency contacts of your location at a set time interval.
How it works:
• Select emergency contacts that will receive texts when you activate Panic Mode
• Set time interval between Panic Mode texts (ex: every 15 mins)
• Create custom alert message
• After activating Panic Mode, the app sends texts to contacts at your selected time interval with alert message and your most recent location
Example Scenarios:
-Going on a road trip to visit a friend? Automatically alert your friend of your location so you don't have to text while driving
-Going on a Tinder date? Why not periodically alert close friends & family of location. You can never be too careful when meeting a stranger
-Taking care of a family member with Dementia or Alzheimer's? Feel at ease knowing where they are and rescue if needed
-Worried that someone may be following you? Turn on Panic Mode so that your selected contacts can closely monitor and make sure you arrive at your destination safely.
Casual Mode:
Allows you to broadcast your location to your selected contact group.
How it works:
• Create multiple contact groups
• Save locations to app notepad for quick recall
• Broadcast your location to contact groups with custom message
Example Scenarios:
-Meeting people in a park, event, or “downtown?” Send your exact location to the rest of the group when you decide on the exact location.
-Stumble across a local event or restaurant - share location with your friends group. Friends can view the location from text and get directions to your location
-Discover a hidden gem in your city or on vacation! Save that location for quick recall and share it with friends
There are an endless number of scenarios where this app can be used. As the User, you define how the app will be used
New update is live!
Changes:
- fixed various bugs
Hi all,
I'd like to invite you to try my app:
Another chat? Yes. No. Wait! Did you ever hang with friends in downtown and wanted to split? But hesitated - how will you find them again? Sure, you can agree to meet in an hour in certain spot. But what if you are late? Or what if they see some fun place and want you to come there? This app can help! You see yours and your friends’ locations on the map in real time. And you can text them – the map and chat share the same screen.
Do you like hiking in parks and want to share your location with relatives at home? Are you an avid fisherman and want your buddy to get to this real good spot you just found? Do you have guests coming to your cottage but don’t want to call them to check how far they are? With Location Chat you save time and have piece of mind that you are connected!
Location is updated with the frequency controlled by the app settings (10 seconds to 5 minutes). You have full control of whether you're sending your location updates. Disable it at any time or let the timer to turn it off. Your location is shared within the chat. Contacts in other chats will not see it, unless you choose to enable it there.
Share a place of interest on the map: simply add a marker with the icon of what it is, e.g. "Picnic Site" or "Cabin", and your friends will see it too. And of course all normal functions of a messaging app are included: group and individual chats with text and picture sharing, forwarding and replies.
You can use Location Chat on smart phone or tablet with a data plan. Just register an account and you are ready to go. No personal information (phone number, email, etc.) required.
Features include:
- Simple, familiar interface with chat and user lists.
- Chat screen with integrated map. Upon turning on location sharing, other chat members will see your location on the map.
- Private (one-on-one) and group chat.
- Marks that can be published on chat map and shared with chat members.
- Take and post photos, share with other chats or messaging apps.
- Chat messages can be encrypted with password.
- Read and dismiss messages inside Android notification.
- XMPP standard is used as protocol
If you have a feature request or a suggestion – feel free to share with us! The app is in active development and we would welcome any ideas!
