The app that helps you bump into friends on purpose

Quick answer

Parages is built to manufacture happy accidents: it taps you when you pass near a friend's home. There is no live map and no tracking; the check stays on your phone.

Some of the best meet-ups start by accident: you were in the area, they were home, and a coffee happened. Parages turns that luck into something you can count on without spying on anyone. You list where your friends live, and the app gives you a quiet tap when your route runs near one of those addresses. Whether you reach out is up to you. Every proximity check runs on your phone, so no one is being followed and no map is being watched.

In one sentence

Parages pings you when you pass near a friend. It tracks nobody.

How it works

1

Add your friends

Their neighborhood, not their exact address. Only you see your list, and nothing is shared.

2

Live your life

No continuous tracking, no shared location. Parages sleeps in your pocket.

3

Get a hello

You pass near a friend, and your phone says “You’re 300 m from Thomas 👋”. Right when it matters.

Frequently asked questions

You note roughly where your friends live. Your phone watches for when you come within a few hundred metres of one of them and sends a quiet notification. No one shares a live location.

Yes, that is the whole design. The proximity check runs locally on your phone, so you are alerted while your position never leaves the device.
