Effort
A few weeks

Location sharing apps lack safeguards against covert surveillance by ex-partners or abusers.

A service that notifies users when their location is checked excessively, with configurable usage limits ('max 3 checks/month').

Subscription model for power users who need detailed access logs.

MVP: Layer alerts on top of existing map APIs with simple frequency counters.

Risk: Hard to balance safety with legitimate use cases like family tracking.
