A private friend locator app that keeps location on your phone

Quick answer

Parages is a private friend locator app. The proximity check runs on your own phone, no location is shared, and it only nudges you when you near a friend you added.

Friend locator apps usually mean a shared live map where everyone watches everyone, which is exactly what puts a lot of people off. Parages handles the same need quietly. You keep a private list of where friends roughly live, the matching happens on your own device, and a gentle nudge lets you know when you have drifted close to one of them. No live map, no shared dot, and no location ever leaving your phone.

In one sentence

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

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