When dates and destinations align, Overlap lets you know. MAP VIEW See everyone's travel plans on a interactive map.

Friends can react and comment to help you decide. SMART CALENDAR SYNC Connect calendars you choose and Overlap finds travel plans to suggest privately. Review each suggestion and tap Post to share it on your map. OVERLAP DETECTION The Overlap tab shows every upcoming trip with a breakdown of who you'll overlap with — friends traveling at the same time, people who live nearby, and recent visitors. NOTIFICATIONS THAT MATTER Get notified when a friend is traveling to your city, when your travel dates overlap, when someone reacts to your plans, and when you get friend requests or group invites. FRIENDS & GROUPS Find friends already on Overlap by syncing your contacts. Create or join groups for coordinated travel — family trips, friend circles, or travel clubs. BIRTHDAY REMINDERS Overlap imports birthdays from your contacts so you never forget a friend's special day.
