New mobile app pairs live location sharing and robust mapping with automated alerts that keep trusted contacts safe and informed

KEARNEY, NE, UNITED STATES, September 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — LNKT Inc. today announced the launch of LNKT, a real-time safety and mapping app built for people who spend time outdoors and the people back home who care about them. LNKT combines feature-rich mapping and planning tools with automated safety alerts that share a user’s location, mark the places that matter and keep family and friends informed as they come and go.

The idea is simple: when you’re out there, your loved ones shouldn’t have to wonder. A hunter can mark his treestand, share it, and LNKT will automatically tell his family when he arrives and leaves. A hiker can share her route, and if she veers off track, the people she trusts will know. If a phone dies or loses service, LNKT preserves the last known location, giving loved ones a real place to start.

LNKT brings planning and safety together in one app. Users can scout with high-definition satellite imagery and detailed mapping layers, then mark locations and build routes before heading out. Once the trip begins, that same map becomes part of the safety system, keeping chosen contacts informed with no manual check-ins required.

It’s built for hunting, fishing, hiking and trail running, and for everyday peace of mind closer to home, like knowing a child made it to school safely.

Key features include:

• Live Location Sharing: Share your live location in real time with the contacts you choose, or see theirs, without draining battery, and switch it on or off anytime.

• Custom Safety Areas, Unlimited Waypoints and Trails: Draw freeform trails, drop unlimited custom waypoints, and set an adjustable geofence on any point or trail so LNKT alerts a contact the moment you arrive or leave. Waypoints from other apps can be imported and turned into Safety Areas.

• Automated Safety Alerts: Notify loved ones when you enter or exit waypoints and trails, when a battery runs low, when there’s a prolonged lack of movement, or when other safety triggers occur, with optional mile-marker updates and check-in reminders.

• Group Sharing: Share waypoints, trails and safety alerts with an entire group at once — a hunting camp, a family or friends on a road trip — with alerts working across the group automatically.

• Last Known Location: If a phone dies or loses service, LNKT marks that person’s last known location, giving a clear place to start.

• MTN Mode: Built for the backcountry, MTN Mode drops waypoints and maps a route as the user moves, even offline, then syncs everything to a chosen contact the moment the slightest signal is detected.

• High-Definition Mapping: Recent, ultra-high-definition satellite imagery with optional terrain, street, LiDAR hillshade, public-land boundary and U.S. landowner layers, plus interactive 3D maps.

LNKT was created by outdoor professional and enthusiast Tony Jenniges, whose inspiration came from a life-threatening experience his father endured after falling from a treestand.

“I built LNKT because my family learned how quickly a normal day outdoors can become an emergency,” said Jenniges, founder of LNKT. “My dad fell from his treestand and was badly injured, and I was the only person who knew exactly where he was and how to get EMTs and the helicopter to him. I’ve replayed that day more times than I can count — what if he couldn’t reach his phone, or I hadn’t known where that treestand was? LNKT was built so another family doesn’t have to face those questions.”

LNKT is available now for Android and iOS. It’s free to download, with a premium tier offered at $9.99 per month or $99/year. To learn more about the app, its features and applications, visit www.lnktapp.com.
