convoy

Set it up once. Ride it every day.

A private line for your carpool — live location, real ETAs, and a nudge when your ride is close. No accounts, no strangers.

No location set yet

Turn on “Can drive” for anyone who takes a turn at the wheel — you’ll set who drives which day right after.

When on, a code works on every phone that uses the same database URL.
Get a URL — once per group, ~2 min:
1. Open console.firebase.google.com → Add project (free).
2. Build → Realtime Database → Create database → choose test mode.
3. Copy the URL it shows (like https://your-app-default-rtdb.firebaseio.com).
4. Paste it above and tap connect. Enter the same URL on each parent’s phone.

Test mode leaves the database open to anyone who has the URL — fine for trying it out. Ask me to add sign-in before real use.
