Apps like Zenly, now that it’s gone

Quick answer

A lot of people are still looking for apps like Zenly, and you can feel why.

A lot of people are still looking for apps like Zenly, and you can feel why. Zenly was social and light. The replacements mostly leaned hard into tracking, which is exactly the thing Zenly fans didn’t want. Parages takes a softer route. You keep your friends on a private map and get a nudge when you cross paths, with no live dot for anyone to follow.

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.

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.
