Find a friend on iPhone, the other way

Quick answer

On iPhone, finding a friend almost always means Find My: their live position, visible the whole time they allow it.

On iPhone, finding a friend almost always means Find My: their live position, visible the whole time they allow it. It gets you out of a jam, yet it weighs on a friendship fast. Parages offers the other version. You never see where your friend is in real time. All you get is a discreet notification when the two of you land in the same area. The rest of the day, you each go about your life.

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

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.
