Memoria vs Life360
Life360 is a location tracker that has sold precise family-location data to data brokers. Memoria is a family app that never sells your data — encrypted, household-scoped, no surveillance.
Life360 and Memoria both call themselves family apps, but they are opposite ideas of what that means. Life360 is built on real-time location: it shows where every family member is, all the time. It has also been reported to sell precise user-location data to data brokers — a business where the family is, in part, the product. Memoria is the other model. It coordinates what the household has to remember — school dates, renewals, documents, reminders — and it never sells your data to anyone, full stop. Everything in the vault is AES-256 encrypted at rest and gated to verified members of your household. There is no location tracking here, by design; if watching everyone’s live position on a map is the point for you, Life360 is the tool. If you want a calm, shared household memory whose revenue comes from a subscription and not from selling where your kids are, Memoria is.

Switching from Life360 to Memoria.
There is no two-way sync — but there is no lock-in either. One-time, one-way, no data left behind.
- Forward your last month. Send your most recent Life360entries — school circulars, fee notes, warranty cards, insurance emails — to your Memoria number or email alias. Captures parse and back-fill in a day.
- Pin the Memoria reminder feed. Once your items are in, the calendar and reminder feed become the daily surface. Keep Life360 open in parallel for the first 30 days to verify nothing slipped.
- Cancel when you are sure. After a month of parallel use, most households unsubscribe from Life360. Memoria keeps your full history, exports everything as an archive, and never holds your data hostage.
FAQ
Does Memoria track my family’s location like Life360?
No. Memoria has no location tracking at all — that is a deliberate design choice. It coordinates the household’s memory: school dates, renewals, documents and reminders. If live location on a map is your main need, Life360 is purpose-built for it; Memoria is for families who want coordination without being tracked.
Will Memoria sell my household’s data the way Life360 has?
No. Memoria never sells or brokers your data — not location, not documents, not anything. Its revenue is the subscription, so the household is the customer, not the product. Everything in the vault is AES-256 encrypted at rest and readable only by verified members of your household.
Will my data import automatically?
Forward your last month of items to your Memoria number or email — captures parse and back-fill in a day. There is no two-way sync; the migration is one-time and the source apps stay where they are.
Is my data private?
