Nick lived in Chicago. Michelle lived in New York. Different states, different lives. They wouldn't meet until January 2025. But when they started comparing their photo libraries, they found something that gave them chills. They'd been in the same places years before they met: not just in each other's cities, but in Tulum. Scottsdale. Even the middle of New Mexico. 800 feet apart in Chicago. Nine hours apart in Arizona. Less than a day apart in Mexico. Hundreds of near-misses across the country, spanning years. And they had no idea. So they built CrossedPaths, to help every couple discover their own story. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open CrossedPaths and allow photo access. CrossedPaths reads the location and time saved in your photos, right on your phone, and draws your path on a 3D globe. 2. Invite your partner with a link. They sign in with Apple, Google or email, and do the same on their phone. 3. CrossedPaths finds every near-miss from before you met: every trip where you were within about 30 miles of each other, within two weeks. They light up on your globe, one by one. Tap any one to see where it happened and how close you came. Got the date you met wrong? Change it on your partner's card and your near-misses recount. WHAT YOU GET FOR FREE - Your own path on the globe - Your first connection, free - Every near-miss shown on the globe, with your top 3 fully unlocked CROSSEDPATHS PREMIUM: $4.99/month, or Lifetime with a one-time purchase. Premium covers you both. - Every near-miss unlocked, with the place, the date and how close you came - A searchable list of your near-misses, year by year - More connections: friends and family, not just your partner YOUR PRIVACY MATTERS Your photos are read entirely on your phone and never leave it. We use only the location and time saved in them to find where your paths crossed. We do not sell your data. We do not track you in real time. CrossedPaths only looks backward, at the history already saved in your photos. This is not a tracking app. This is a love story app. BUILT BY A REAL COUPLE CrossedPaths was built by Nick and Michelle, an engaged couple from Chicago who kept finding their own near-misses and thought every couple deserved to discover theirs. This is a labor of love, not a venture-backed startup. Every feature exists because we wanted it for ourselves first. Your love story didn't start when you met. It started long before that. CrossedPaths helps you find the proof. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.crossedpaths.ai/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.crossedpaths.ai/privacy

Evercrossed Evercrossed is a privacy-first memory app that helps you discover the hidden moment you unknowingly crossed paths with someone before you ever met. Your photo library contains more than memories. It also contains time and place. Evercrossed uses locally stored photo metadata to uncover those quiet, invisible intersections that happened long before a relationship began. Maybe you were at the same concert years apart in your memory, but minutes apart in real life. Maybe you walked through the same street, airport, campus, or city block without ever knowing. Evercrossed turns those forgotten overlaps into something magical. How it works • Scan your photo library to build a compact profile from photo metadata • Share or scan a QR code with another person • Compare histories privately and discover when your paths first crossed • Relive the moment through a beautiful reveal and share the story with friends Built for privacy Evercrossed is designed with privacy first. Your photos stay on your device. The app uses metadata, not photo content, and is built to minimize external dependencies and avoid unnecessary data sharing. Why people love it Evercrossed transforms passive photo history into an emotional social experience. It is part memory capsule, part serendipity engine, and part modern love story — a new way to see that life may have connected two people long before they finally met. Whether it is for couples, close friends, family, or pure curiosity, Evercrossed reveals the hidden crossings already written into your life.
