I asked on Mastodon but no one seems to know so I thought I’d ask here as well.

I’m looking for an app that provides the same or similar functionality to Life360 but instead of using Google/Apple map data it uses OpenStreetMap data. Does this even exist?

What is the functionality you are after as I am not familiar with aforementioned app?

As far as I know, it's mainly for tracking the location of family members who are also on the app and who have approved sharing location with you.

Exactly this. You can also pay and report incidents (e.g. robberies) in your area as well, although I don't use it for that.
