A private Find My alternative that skips the live map

Quick answer

Parages is a private Find My alternative for friends. It never shows a live map or shares your location; it only nudges you when you pass near a friend you saved.

Find My is handy for a lost device, yet using it for people means a live map of everyone you have shared with, always updating. Some friends would rather not live on that map. Parages offers a quieter version. You keep a private list of where friends live, the proximity match runs on your own phone, and a small nudge appears when you are close. Nobody is plotted in real time, and your position stays put on your device.

In one sentence

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

How it works

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

Live your life

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

Get a hello

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