Know when your paths cross again.
You meet someone travelling. You swap WhatsApp numbers. Months later you're both in Lisbon and neither of you finds out until afterwards. Crossed Paths notices instead.
Free to use. No feed. No browsing. Just the people you've already met.
The best part of travel isn't the places.
It's the people you meet along the way. The friend from that hostel in Hanoi who showed you the street food alley no guidebook mentions. The couple you shared a sunset with in Santorini. The stranger on the night train who became a lifelong friend by morning.
But then you go home. And those connections fade — not because you stop caring, but because life pulls you back into routine. Instagram shows you their highlights reel but does nothing to help you actually see them again.
Crossed Paths is built for people who love travel not for the destinations, but for the connections it creates.
"Imagine if every time you landed somewhere new, you already knew which friends were nearby — and which ones would be there next month."
Quietly working in the background.
No feed to scroll. Nobody to discover. Crossed Paths only tells you about people you've already agreed to connect with — and only when something worth knowing happens.
Add someone
Share an invite link with someone you've met travelling. They accept, you're connected.
Go about your life
The app quietly knows your country, with optional city detail only when you turn it on. No coordinates, no history.
Get notified
When your paths cross — now or in an upcoming trip — you both get a gentle push notification.
Meet up
One tap opens WhatsApp. The conversation was always theirs anyway.
Designed to be invisible when nothing's happening.
Most apps want your attention all day. Crossed Paths wants almost none of it.
Country-level matching
The app stores your current country, and an optional current city when you opt in. Your coordinates never leave your phone. There is no location history.
Planned trips
Add upcoming travel and get told before you arrive if a connection will be nearby. Plan around where your people are.
Tiered visibility
Choose per connection whether they see country only or city detail. Some friends know exactly where you are; others just know when you're in the same place.
Proactive visibility
Grant specific connections the ability to see your current location and upcoming trips at any time — before a match even exists.
No feed, no discovery
Nobody to browse. No infinite scroll. If nothing is happening, the app shows you nothing — which is usually a sign it's working.
WhatsApp handoff
When paths cross, one tap deep-links you straight into WhatsApp. We don't do messaging. The conversation was already yours.
For the ones who keep going back.
If you have friends scattered across three continents and a phone full of numbers you never call because "it's been too long" — this is for you.
Digital nomads
You move often enough that keeping track of everyone manually is impossible. Let the app do it.
Long-term travellers
You meet dozens of amazing people per trip. This is how you actually stay connected after you leave.
Anyone with global friendships
Your closest friends might live in cities you visit once a year. Never miss the chance to be in the same place at the same time again.
Your location is not our product.
We designed the privacy model first and the features second. Here is what that means in practice:
- No coordinates, anywhereYour phone converts GPS to a country and, only when enabled, a city before discarding the coordinates. They are never stored, logged, or transmitted.
- No location historyWe hold one row per person: current country and an optional current city. It is overwritten in place, so last month is not recoverable from this database — including by us.
- Mutual consent requiredNobody can see your location without you explicitly accepting their invite. Blocking revokes access immediately and until you explicitly unblock them; removing and re-inviting cannot bypass an active block.
- City sharing is opt-in, per connectionBy default, connections only know which country you're in. You choose individually who can see city-level detail and who can see your upcoming trips.
- Phone numbers stay privateAccess-controlled and never shown in profiles. Only exposed as a WhatsApp destination to accepted, unblocked connections. Revoked instantly by a block.
- Delete means deleteAccount removal erases your profile, presence, trips, invites, connections, matches, devices and settings. Not anonymised. Deleted.
"The world feels smaller when you know someone is already there."
Crossed Paths is coming soon.
We are preparing the first iOS and Android release. Once it is ready, this page will take you straight to the app.
