The Snap Map feeling, without living on the map

Quick answer

The Snap Map is genuinely fun for about a week.

The Snap Map is genuinely fun for about a week. Then you remember that anyone on your list can check where you are at any moment, and your battery agrees that something is wrong. Parages keeps the good instinct, knowing a friend is close, and throws out the always-on part. You’re never on a map for others to scroll.

In one sentence

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

How it works

Add your friends

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.

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.
