An Apple Find My alternative that hides your dot

Quick answer

Find My streams your live location to people you share with. Parages shares nothing; the near-a-friend check happens on your own phone and only you see the nudge.

Find My is great for a lost iPhone, but sharing with friends means handing them a live dot they can open any time. Parages was made so no dot exists to open. You save where your friends live as a private list, and the app pings you when your path crosses near one of those homes. The proximity check runs entirely on your device, so Apple, us, and your friends never see where you are. Closeness, without the constant glance.

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

No. Parages never shares or stores your live location. It only checks, on your own phone, whether you are close to a friend you added, and pings you if so.

There will be a free plan that covers the core feature: getting pinged when you pass near a friend. A paid tier will add history and travel stats later.

No. You can add a friend just by noting roughly where they live. They never know they are in your private book.
