Quick answer
Snapchat will happily show you which friends are nearby.
Snapchat will happily show you which friends are nearby. It will also show them exactly where you are, whenever they feel like checking. Parages keeps the first part and quietly removes the second. You find out a friend is close. They never get to watch your dot.
In one sentence
Parages pings you when you pass near a friend. It tracks nobody.
Their neighborhood, not their exact address. Only you see your list, and nothing is shared.
No continuous tracking, no shared location. Parages sleeps in your pocket.
You pass near a friend, and your phone says “You’re 300 m from Thomas 👋”. Right when it matters.
You note where your friends live. When your phone notices you are within a few hundred metres of one of them, it sends you a quiet notification.
Never. Nobody sees your location. The whole point is that you stay invisible while still not missing the people you know.
Parages is coming soon. Drop your email, we’ll tell you first. No spam, just the day it opens.
