Out of curiosity - as someone who already ditched life360 - what’s keeping you on it?
Comment on Dawarich 1.22.0 — Alternative to Google Timeline, OwnTracks and Life360 [AIP]

I want to to replace life 360, but it’s not there yet. When it is, I’m all in.

I am not on it. My son started driving recently and I evaluated it, but rejected it due to their customer hostile approach to api access and privacy. i found Dawarich when searching for alternatives a free months ago. I’ve installed it, contributed a couple of PRs, and am excited for it.
The missing feature is for “anxious moms” wanting an up to date alert for announcing movement for their kids. e.g. “Bobby has left the library”
It’s getting closer with every release, but the turn key approach without managing every poi for announcements is missing.
Now, all that said. I’m not mom and I have feelings over teen privacy and helicopter parenting, but I recognize the desire for that type of information sharing – as long as it’s my family’s data only.

Ahh, gotcha.
My wife and I were on Life360 for a few years, until we decided to drop it because of the data collection and selling that to insurance.
Turns out Home Assistant can do this natively, that is alerting when someone leaves/arrives at a predefined zone. The recent map update really helps.

Home assistant can do it how? Any links to guides?

We’ll double down in that direction then, I guess :)
